Synopsis: I had a bad locale configuration. It's amazing what that messed up: about 20 packages would not configure, and /etc/init.d/gdm would fail, and I'd have no X server. I've toyed with the idea of some quick configuration checks during bootup, or at the start of automatic upgrades, but don't know if that's a feasible idea. Anyway, thanks to all. ++ kevin -- locales failed to install on upgrade to heron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
