9 Yes, but that may not be the problem. I have just 2 locales requested,
10 but /etc/share/locale/ contains 90 MB of material.
11 A quick look suggests that most of it is in subdirs LC_MESSAGES ,
12 wh seem to come from emerges at various dates;
13 they are binary, so I don't know what they were reporting.
14 Even under /usr/share/locale/en_US , which should show my 2 locales,
15 there are only such messages. The locales do seem to work.

17 Can anyone explain what is going on ?
