Re: mucked-up locale settings in testing
Is the `locales` package installed?
I /believe/ it is ... in aptitude, "locales" is highlighted green, is
marked 'ciA' in the leftmost column and is taking up 11.2 MB if I am
reading the display correctly.
If I run 'apt-get install locales' I get a shower of unmet dependencies,
mostly for kdelibs4c2a and libqt3-mt. Then at the bottom of /that/ there
is the interesting message:
locales: Conflicts: base-config but 2.53.10 is to be installed
... after which it suggests (as the output also does at the top) I try
apt-get -f install with no package names or to specify a solution with
that command. I will try searching on that line to see what turns up.
When I run apt-get -f install, I get
Need to get 0B/84.9MB of archives.
After unpacking 43.5MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
