Subject: locales fails 'int_curr_symbol' not valid ISO 4217
Followup-For: Bug #188159
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.1-16

Every time I try to apt-get upgrade or packages are reconfigured,
locales always fails with: 

"...
sr_YU.ISO-8859-5@cyrillic...LC_MONETARY:
value of field `int_curr_symbol' does not correspond to a valid name in
ISO 4217
dpkg: error processing locales (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1"

I get this on all Knoppix 3.1 (Debian based) unstable/testing loads.
