Package: locales
Version: 2.7-10
Severity: important
Tags: l10n
I had some ugly Perl warnings and tried to regenerate locales to get
rid of this warnings.
But this reproducably failes with:
Generating locales (this may take a while)...
de_DE.UTF-8...Hangup
Then the SSH-Sessions is unusable whereas the system as a whole is
unaffected.
The syslog says that the kernel killed process due to lack of memory.
Phys. Memory: 32 MiB
Swap: ~280 MiB
I found someone who had a similar problem:
http://osdir.com/ml/debian.ports.arm/2006-03/msg00002.html
Reinstalling locales produces the same result.

That's not a bug, your system lacks memory and uses a lot of swap, which
actually render your system unusable.
Either get more memory or use locales-all to avoid compiling the
locales.
