Hey, just read first post again... You claim that update-base is necessary for the stuff to work, but I don't recall installing it... And my device is localized. Huh?
UPD. Made sure I didn't have that base package installed...
Code:
[root@kindle root]# ls /usr/lib/locale/ -la
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 1024 Nov 3 22:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 16384 Nov 4 00:05 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8318256 Nov 3 22:58 locale-archive
[root@kindle root]#
Something really weird is going on...
