[Fedora-i18n-list] locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory

[Johan Henes]

... By the way ! 

- I see that some of the last things that happened before the problems
started was that yum has updated glibc-common. This happened as I used
Yum to install postfix :

[root at notes root]# cat /var/log/yum.log
...

07/20/04 14:13:40 Dep Installed: krb5-libs 1.3.3-6.i386

Could it be some of the other packets that makes the trouble ??
- Version problems etc ??
