Bear with me, please... I searched google, but I could not really find anything useful. I use custom locales, such as en_GB.ISO-8859-15 and others, which are not listed in the debconf choices of 'locales'. Thus I create the manually with localedef. Previously, this would put the <outputdir> I specified in the current directory. However, that's not the case anymore. In fact, I can't find the generated locale anymore. My libc6 is version 2.3.1-16. So /usr/lib/locale is now empty. What is really weird is that even though `locale` shows all the different setting I have to non-standard locales, a simple invocation to e.g. perl (5.8.0-17) doesn't bitch about missing locales like it always used to. This all leads me to believe that locale handling has changed. However, browsing the changelog.Debian.gz file doesn't reveal anything. So I am puzzled. Could anyone shine some light on this, and possibly let me know whether I still have to create such non-standard locales? All I want is a British language and time format, German number, monetary and date formats, as well as paper, name, address, telephone, measurement, identification all in German, and all capable of producing the Euro sign. If I have to create my custom locales, how? Where should they go? And why is perl not bitching anymore, even though the locales I set with LC_* are not found on the system?
