Ultimately it was you who was responsible because you apparently set your locale setting to a dictionary sort order collating sequence such as en_US. This does not happen unless you choose it. Only you probably did not realize the consequences of your actions. You probably saw the question, took one of the selections, and forgot about it. To change the system default locale setting use this: dpkg-reconfigure locales It will ask you: Which locale should be the default in the system environment? You are presented with "None" plus all of the other locales that you have configured. Select None and no locale setting will be placed /etc/environment and that will make C/POSIX the default for your system. You will need to log out in order for the settings to take effect for your session. > I wan't to drink coffee and smoke and then rip his fucked up head off > and shit a hugh load of crap into his throat! > > Don't give me "that's because you use unstable" or the same will happen > to you too. > > So.

Let me know how that goes for you. :-) Personally I use en_US.UTF-8 and a unicode font but also set LC_COLLATE=C configuration. Bob
