On a debian-kernel linux-image-3.13-1-parisc64-smp (3.13.4-1) and the latest libc6 which Dave uploaded, I'm now seeing similiar issues which are most likely related: lsXX:~# dpkg-reconfigure locales Generating locales (this might take a while)... de_DE.ISO-8859-1...cannot map archive header: Invalid argument done de_DE.UTF-8...cannot map archive header: Invalid argument done de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro...cannot map archive header: Invalid argument done en_US.ISO-8859-1...cannot map archive header: Invalid argument done en_US.ISO-8859-15...cannot map archive header: Invalid argument done en_US.UTF-8...cannot map archive header: Invalid argument done Generation complete.
