There is an incorrect entry in the file. For example this line: C.UTF-8 The locale name C. is not listed in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ on my system. However, the remaining entries appear to be correct according to the contents of /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED. So I am not sure what's gone wrong. -- Regards, Mick
