Hi,
I upgraded to libc6 2.0.3-4 (without libc6-dev), now perl has problems
with locale.
Example:
bash$ export LANG=
bash$ date
Wed May 28 22:51:29 CEST 1997
bash$ ./myrup <--------- from the perl examples
node load (u)
------- --------
[...]
bash$ export LANG=de_DE
bash$ date
Mit Mai 28 22:54:29 CEST 1997
bash$ ./myrup
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_MESSAGES = "C",
LANG = "de_DE"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
node load (u)
------- --------
As you can see date respects the German settings, but perl has some
problems. Or am I wrong and libc6 is broken ?
LC_MESSAGES=C is set be me, because I want plain English error messages.
As this happens to all perlscripts (also the ones during package
installation) this is somehow annoying and cluttering up the screen.
Ciao,
Martin
