Okay, I edited /etc/locale.gen and commented out the ones i don't need. It said in the file I would need to run locale-gen, which I did, which surprisingly completed without error. Then I tried apt-get to get localepurge and it worked. Of course on the yes or no point, it said kde-i18n-de would be removed. Localepurge was supposed to clean off the locales I don't need. I went through with the program and then it went back to the shell and dpkg spit out the kde-i18n-de error again.

Additionally, I ran:

root@Harkonnen:~# dpkg --audit
The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
locales GNU C Library: National Language (locale) data [support]

The following packages are only half installed, due to problems during
installation. The installation can probably be completed by retrying it;
the packages can be removed using dselect or dpkg --remove:
kde-i18n-de German i18n files for KDE

Now if I do an ls in /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/de/, kenolaba shows up, but strangely (as root no less) I cannot cd nor rmdir the kenolaba folder:
bash: cd: kenolaba: Permission denied

Is there some way I can exclude kde-i18n-de from apt-get? Issue a command or edit a file so that it doesn't care or mess with kde-i18n-de anymore?


Superstoned, I don't think my hard drive can take another install.
