Hi all, For some reason, on one of my VPSs I keep getting this warning: http://codepad.org/KP8gnYr9 This VPS is CRUX-2.5 (64bit) running on SliceHost. Did I forget to generate my system locales ? cheers James -- -- "Problems are solved by method"

Sorry Andrew :) Like I was saying... Despite having done this I still get those warnings. I remember having this problem once before but I can't for the life of me remember how to fix it :/ locale gives me this: http://codepad.org/CSwyTCEA cheers James

Yeah I solved it. Interestingly enough a lot of software must assume en_US as the default language/locale ? I accidentally blindly copied/pasted the 3 lines from the FAQ and created for my system a set of Spanish locales! :/ Most software on the system didn't like that very much and kept complaining that it couldn't find the default locale or a suitable language or whatever! God bless America :) Thanks for the help! cheers James

Well, not sure about that as you don't mentioned the applications, but judging from the output from 'locale' and 'ports' you posted before, it appears that you have set LC_ALL to "en_US.ISO-8859-1": http://codepad.org/CSwyTCEA http://codepad.org/KP8gnYr9
If it's not set, LC_ALL will be empty, and the rest will default to "POSIX": $ env|grep ^LC_ # making sure that there's no LC_* variable set $ locale LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= And running ports -u will be just fine: # ports -u opt Updating file list from crux.nu::ports/crux-2.5/opt/ Updating collection opt Finished successfully So maybe double check your environment, in case 'en_US' is not what you want.
