This all seems to have something to do with libc and a wg15-locale
package. Do you have anything in /usr/share/locale. Most seem to
start having this problem if they install StarOffice which has you
set LANG=us. It really does not seem to hurt anything other than
all the trash it puts on your screen when perl programs are run.
As more programs depend on these features, it may become more of an
issue.
