> Bug#188475: /usr/bin/localedef confilicts with PAX

I am sorry, but I don't consider this a bug, and not even
a wishlist. localedef seems to rely on executable pages, but chpax
does not have the provisions to fix this. Remember, chpax is just
a tool to change the PAX attributes of binaries, the actual kernel
patch (grsecurity in this case) is hindering localedef from running.
You will have to change your kernel configuration, define different
ACLs for localedef, or include the chpax -ps call in your startup
scripts.

In any case, I have CC'd the PAX team to get their opinion. PAX
guys, you can view the bug report at http://bugs.debian.org/188475
Please let me know what you think.
