any way to get the package locales installed? keep getting locale related errors from perl during installs, just warnings.

I got this behavior with 384M swap. How much do you think we should have? Aa far as I know there is no way to add memory to these things. If that's not true, I'd love to hear how it can be done. BTW, I also get a segfault with icedove. These were a big reason I tried to go back to titchy using my backup. This did not work.... So, I am really interested in fixing these problems. |

typing- export LC_ALL=C
seems to fix the locale issue, so I am adding it to the profile. |

Did a fresh install of Debian EABI, steps work reasonably well ... repo's seem to have some major issue's
Zaurus:~# apt-get install xfce4 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: xfce4: Depends: xfwm4 (>= 4.4.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xfwm4-themes (>= 4.4.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xfce4-mcs-plugins (>= 4.4.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xfce4-panel (>= 4.4.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xfdesktop4 (>= 4.4.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: thunar (>= 0.8.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xfce4-utils (>= 4.4.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: gtk2-engines-xfce (>= 2.4.1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xfce4-session (>= 4.4.1) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: xfce4-mixer but it is not going to be installed Recommends: xfprint4 but it is not going to be installed Recommends: orage but it is not going to be installed Recommends: xfce4-terminal but it is not going to be installed Recommends: xfmedia but it is not going to be installed Recommends: desktop-base but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages Zaurus:~# Just trying to install xfce4.

It can help to do one of both before installing apps. Chero. |
