Unexpected..I thought it would be empty ?


For whatever reason the locales package postinst script simply
comments out the lines it manages there.  I don't know why.

I realized I should have said something else too.  Let me fix that and
say it now.




default these days.  But I fear that I may have led you to not have
LANG set in your normal desktop environment now.  Because I always set
it myself and then also set LC_COLLATE too so that I get a sane sort
order and therefore didn't think of it.

   export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
   export LC_COLLATE=C




    LANG was set....but LC_COLLATE was not...so I added it.

    I **think** I now understand the whole thing a little better.

    Thanks for the followup.
