Dear all,
I encountered an unexpected error during the installation of a pkg on my
debian uml image. I tried to install locales pkg and when it was
generating a locales env, it displayed the following output:

*********************************************************

Unpacking locales (from .../locales_2.3.6-7_all.deb) ...

        LC_CTYPE = "it_IT.UTF-8",
        LANG = "it_IT.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
