initially, there wasn't in /use/share/locale, only:
en, en_AU, en_GB, en_RN
i created a link for en_US to en, but that didn't seem to help.
perhaps i can copy the en_US directory over from a redhat install i
have, or even duplicate the whole 'en' directory in there? i'll try
that. maybe the debian packagers simply assume that en_US is the
definitive en and doesn't need to be further qualified. this is awfully
strange.
thanks for the response!
