If a package hard depend on gettext, it is a bug, IMHO. |

$ echo $LANG |

en_US.UTF-8 |
| 61 |
$ echo $LANGUAGE |
| 62 |
%%% This environment variable is not set |

Why the system suddenly decided that my native language is one of |
| 67 |
the easten-europien ones, then? |
| 68 |
|

And a month or two ago, all the system messages was in English |

| 71 |
did not hard-depend on gettext.) Strange. |
