LC_ALL (or LANG) affects the program you actually *run*, in this case it is the Program dpkg, so the error messages from *dpkg* are in the set language. It has no influence on the stuff you install, but only on the diagnostic messages of the installer program. Nevertheless does LyX care for LC_ALL or LANG, so LC_ALL=C lyx gives you a LyX with an english interface while [EMAIL PROTECTED] lyx gives you a LyX with a german interface, but that is something different. (Note that this setting does not affect the language of the text you write with lyx -- this can be quite confusing :) > I added [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my /etc/environments and the problem with > the diffenernt language startup is solved thanks to your response. Okay, now everyone on your computer gets german messages. (You can set it only for yourself in .bashrc, .profile or .xsession). Karsten
