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

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:

What's the output of `locale -a`?

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:orts/crux-2.5/opt/
Updating collection opt
Finished successfully



So maybe double check your environment, in case 'en_US' is not what you
want.

HTH, Johannes
