Problems with locales

[chris@sgoc.de]

Hi! 

I have some problems setting my locales to German on my woody install. 
The task package for German settup produced the file /etc/lanuage-de 
which seems to be set some environment variables, but it is not executed

or sourced by any other startup script. The documentation also suggests 
to set LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 which leads to warnings like this: 
perl: warning: Setting locale failed. 
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: 
LANGUAGE = (unset), 
LC_ALL = (unset), 
LANG = "de_DE.ISO-8859-1" 
    are supported and installed on your system. 

On my potato machine a simple LANG=DE_de was sufficient for that matter.


Thanks 
Christoph
