Subject: unstable libc5 won't install due to locale problems

Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 03:52:53 -0400

package: libc5
version: 5.4.33-5
package: locales
version: 2.0.4-1

putting in a "set +e" before the do_locale's in libc5.postinst and
having it not drop the errors into /dev/null showed me this list of
failings, most (probably all) of which caused do_locale to give an
error status; because of the set -e, these problems cause libc5 not to
configure... but I don't know whose fault it is.
