After upgrading from 5.0.0 to 5.0.5 I had problems running one of our applications due to an issue with the 'locale' setting. <br><br>I edited the /etc/default/lang file, commenting out all lines except<br><br>LANG=C_C.C<br><br>Since doing this I cannot get the man command to work.<br><br>For example, typing <br>#man ps<br><br>Gets me the response -<br>#man: ps not found<br><br>This happens any time that man command is used. The scohelp HTML pages are not accessible either.<br><br>I've tried uncommenting LANG=english_uk.8859 but it doesn't fix the problem. Restoring any other parameters (e.g. LANG=en_GB.ISO8859-1) causes the locale errors to appear in the app again.<br><br>While I can't be 100% certain that this is the cause I know that the correct locale setting is needed for scohelp to locate the HTML documents so I'm assuming that it is related.<br><br>I'd appreciate any advice on how to get this back into operation.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Craig Shepherd
