"c" usually means a package has been installed and removed but not purged. "ci" means that the package has been configured and is marked for installation. "A" means that the package is marked to be automatically installed; it will be removed if no other packages depend on it, but that shouldn't happen with locales. > If I run 'apt-get install locales' I get a shower of unmet dependencies, > mostly for kdelibs4c2a and libqt3-mt.

The description says it can be removed once your system is installed. (I'm using Ubuntu Breezy, and the locales package here does not show a conflict or dependency with base-config). -- Never eat anything bigger than your head. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
