OK, but how is it derived? As far as I know, I did not change anything
in the locales since the previous time I installed PostgreSQL.
My locales are:
jkr(at)panoramix:~$ locale
LANG=
LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
I solved the immediate "problem" by doing an "initdb -E UTF8" but I am
not quite satisfied by that sollution: it makes the installation of
PostgreSQL more difficult for non-initiated users (including myself),
who think that a simple "apt-get install' does the right thing.
TIA
Joost
