Hi,
I also notice that coreutils is also missing stuff in /usr/share/locale/en_GB, so apps like acroread and some firefox plugins continuously repeat a message "expr: syntax error" and fail to open.
Forget it, there are no .mo files for en_GB because the English strings are hard-coded into the binaries.
Only very few packages have en_GB translations, only if it would substantially differ from the default strings, and a missing translation is not a bug.
The problem with acroread was pointed out to me by a friend in the USA and I got exactly the same here in the UK when I tried it - the expressions in /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread look sane looking at "man expr". Regards
This problem has nothing to do with missing .mo files either. It's a simple shell scripting/quoting bug. Fix:

There is already a report this, so there is no need to report it in bugzilla.

Thanks, I shall grab that patch. I didn't search bugzilla for acroread as I was experiencing failures in different progs, but nothing applicable showed up. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
