Re: bsdmainutils



I'd suggest looking through the diff for the package, and see if you can find
where it's adding the bits you don't want. That's probably the easiest way.

FreeBSD doesn't seem to have any langinfo stuff, or if they do, it's not in
/usr/include. I'm not sure what it's supposed to do, anyway. I suspect that
what you have is actually forked and heavily patched from FreeBSD.
