The pinned thread is getting a bit lengthy so thought I'd make this a seperate one.
I was getting Locale error messages even after installing & configuring Locales. After some googling I found that adding the following to my startd script has fixed this problem->
unset LANG
unset LC_ALL
export LC_TYPE=en_USI'm running as root so you may need to add su or sudo if you're running as the zaurus user.
I tried putting these in my .xinitrc but it didn't work, I quess they need to be made inside the chroot enivironment. I've removed the export LANG=en_US
export LC_ALL=en_USfrom my .xinitrc and installations seem to be working fine.

Jerry,
I wonder if this hack will fix things if I haven't been able to install locales or enable me to apt-get install locales once I have made the change.

I was able to apt-get install locales with the error but it didn't go into the config app like it should. If you install locales but aren't prompted to configure try #dpkg-reconfigure locales
I also noted path error messages during installs that failed, notably /sbin; /usr/sbin and usr/local/bin. So I added them to /etc/profile PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
export PATH and added a new line to startd script source /etc/profile after the export LC_TYPE entry.
I haven't had a chance to try more installs yet so not sure if this will help failed installs (no wireless access at work and I can't figure out USB internet sharing on winblows 2K with fixed IP address )
