Subject: locale problem when setting up a chroot using debootstrap
I'm setting up a chroot using debootstrap, eventually for use
with user
mode linux. I have got it mostly working ok, but when I install some
packages (e.g. mc), there are a load of errors which seem to be to do
with locales. Perl (I think) is saying something like check that the
right locale is installed for the language code you have configured
(en-GB). (Its hard at the moment to give the exact error
message because
it's on another machine and that filesystem has just died so
I'll have
to rebuild it before I can reproduce the error). Is there
some package I
need to install inside the chroot?
Thanks,
andy baxter
You need the "locales" package, which may not be automatically installed by
debootstrap. If it is installed, simply running "dpkg-reconfigure locales"
should be enough to make the messages go away.
Hope this helps!
