Here's the beginning of 'dpkg -L xlib6g' output:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/compose.dir
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/C
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/C/XLC_LOCALE
...
If you have to, download the xlib6g and install it manually with dpkg.
When I first had these problems, I got the locale dir out of the old
'xbase' package (when it was ~2.0 meg). 'xlib6g' definitely has what
you need.
