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 )
