Why didn't you tell me? There was a narrow window between July 28th and July 29th where the mtree files were not in synch with the code. A buildworld / installworld during that time would fail, and leave /usr/share/locale in a semi-corrupted state. Once the mtree files were corrected, the *only* way to run into any kind of trouble with the .no locale would be to run 'make install' manually from post-July-29th sources on a pre-July-28th system, without first running 'make hierarchy'. Of course, I may be wrong, but if everybody who runs into this destroys the evidence and remains silent, we'll never know. A complete log of the failed buildworld / installworld plus the output of 'find /usr/share/locale -ls | grep _NO' would be appreciated. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
