NAME
localepurge - removing superfluous locale data
SYNOPSIS
localepurge
DESCRIPTION
localepurge is a small script to recover disk space wasted
for unneeded locale files and localized man pages. It will
be automagically invoked by dpkg upon completion of any
apt installation run. You have to define the locale
directory names you want to keep from removal after each
apt installation run in the /etc/locale.nopurge configura
tion file. Unless localepurge has been adequately config
ured, the system's locale directories won't be touched at
all.
