Hello,

I tried to install locales with apt-get, but all I got was an error message that glibc-2.5-1 was needed but not installable.
I tried update and upgrade but I didnt help.

Does the missing glibc-2.5-1 mean any other problems? So how can I install locales and resolve these problems?

Thanks for any help, Kai

Once you have fetched the locales package
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install locales

You then need to run localedef to generate the libc library. So for me, in the UK, the following does this.
Code:
localedef -i en_GB -f ISO-8859-1 en_GB

I found the information to do this in /usr/share/doc/locales/README with the relevant code page defined in the /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_GB file.

I have only tested this with R5E50.

Ah, I have just re-read your question - I guess my reply didn't answer your question. It might be of use to others though.
