No, I don't. I spent a hell of a lot of time to make the locale handling in Postgresql work right. Without working locales, collation and string comparisons will fail, and the client libs will return strings which have an invalid encoding. I am not going to deliberately break postgresql to create DB instances which have nonobvious bugs in it. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/locale.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/multibyte.html > Read my blog on this: > http://wolfs-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/11/installing-postgresql-82-on-710-server.html That's FUD. We live in a free world, so I won't stop you from doing whatever blogs you want, or configuring your local psql installation however you want. If you don't need non-ASCII characters, that's fine. But don't insist that the PostgreSQL packages are broken without even listening to my explanation. Your system is broken (it sets LANG and LC_* to invalid values), the PostgreSQL packages clearly tell you about the condition. If you ignore it, that's fine.
