Yes, someone else mentioned 'locale.xlib6-old'. Unfortunately, for
whatever reason, I did *not* have this dir in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
(because of symlinks, this is the same as /usr/lib/X11). In fact I ran a
search for the files in the locale subdir, and didn't find them anywhere
on my system. My system began as Debian 2.0 (install) and is updated
against slink regularly.
