Hi, I have tried to reproduce this: I get the same error when my locale.gen contains: fi_FI.UTF8 UTF8 Which should be: fi_FI.UTF-8 UTF-8 It works for me when I changed it a little bit as you see. Regards Alexander
Ah, thanks this fixed it. You can close this one as it was my own mistake.
sounds good
During generation of all locales with # locale-gen -c /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED there are some errors: * (236/338) Generating mn_MN.UTF-8 ... /usr/share/i18n/locales/mn_MN:221: LC_TIME: syntax error [ !! ] * (274/338) Generating sid_ET.UTF-8 ...

those errors have always been there
