Package: libc6

Severity: normal

-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
  APT prefers testing
  APT policy: (500, 'testing')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.4.24
Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US)

Versions of packages libc6 depends on:
ii  libdb1-compat                 2.1.3-7    The Berkeley database routines [gl

-- debconf information:

1) export LC_ALL=en_US
2) Compile the following program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <locale.h>
	int
	main (void)
	{	char *cptr = setlocale (LC_ALL, "") ;
		
		if (cptr != NULL)
			puts (cptr) ;
		else
			printf ("%p\n", cptr) ;
		
		return 0;
	}

3) When run, the setlocale() returns a NULL pointer indicating
   failure.

4) Strace reveals that libc is looking for

        /usr/lib/locale/en_US/LC_IDENTIFICATION
		
   which doesn't seem to exist.
