Thanks colin that got me past that message but now I have a host of
problems. First of all it never completed the upgrade of the scrollkeeper
package now i get:
# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
scrollkeeper
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
More importantly my openoffice seems to be screwed up i think it had
something to do with perl being upgraded and that somehow screwed up my
locales. My locales are just C and POSTFIX but when I run openoffice I
get:
starting configuration import into user data ..
.. importing layer file:///tmp/oooLocale.XXXXyD0zzf - succeeded
I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale ""
If I reconfigure my locales to include en_US.UTF-8 I then get this:
#openoffice
Starting configuration import into user data ..
.. importing layer file:///tmp/oooLocale.XXXXtBkvKq - succeeded
And now with the en_US.UTF-8 set to default i get all these funny
characters on lots of screens like the reconfigure screens and man pages.
I had C set to the default locale before but when you reconfigure it it
doesn't seem to be an option to fix the funky characters i have to
reconfigure locales and remove en_US.UTF-8. I tried removing and purging
openoffice and reinstalling with no luck.
Please help
