My locales are missing...

[burk]

Hi

Every time i log on i get an error message that says "Could not find language no_NO.UTF-8, using System default". When i type locale -a (which should list all the languages) in terminal, i only get this:

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX

If i run apt-get install locales i get this:

root@BJORN:/home/burk # apt-get install locales
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  locales: Depends: glibc-2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu14
E: Broken packages

Before the language in gnome uset to be norwegian but now mort of it is in english. I checked /usr/lib/ and there is no locale-folder there like it should be :S

How can i get my languages back??

I think i have found the problem. The locale package needs glibc-2.3.2.dsl1-20.... but i have a newer version, the glibc-2.3.2.dsl1-24..... Do you think it would work to just download the locales and put them in /usr/lib/locales ?? If yes where could i get them??

hi
i am having the exact same problems
except I use debian 3.1a sarge/unstable/testing

anything I try to do doesn't do a bit of good
1. dpkg-reconfigure does no good
2. apt-get remove, or dpkg --purge locales does no good
3. apt-get install locales just produces the same output as the last guy was talking about, except mine says a bit about sarge instead of his ubuntu, ie: glibc-x.x.x-ds1-sarge something or other ...
