Package: locales-all
Version: 2.9-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
installing locales-all or running locle.gen always ends with
cannot map archive header: Invalid argument
(which makes the installtion fail, of course) and the loacles are not
available. since locales did not work, i installed locales-all, led to
believe by
"This package contains the precompiled locale data for all supported
locales." that everything was done -- but not so, the exact same stuff
happnend (making me ask, what in fact is the meaning of that senetence).

Yes, jffs2 does not support mmap in write mode. This is not a bug of
locales.
