Missing /usr/lib32/locale directory

[Aristid Breitkreuz]

On Ubuntu 7.04 (x86-64) I couldn't use non-ascii characters in Opera until I did

$ sudo ln -s -T /usr/lib64/locale /usr/lib32/locale

I think this symlink should be part of ia32-libs. The problem did not appear in Edgy Eft.

This missing symlink is indeed very annoying - without it you get messages like:

  (firefox-bin:12074): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Actually the link should look like this:

  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 21 03:32 /usr/lib32/locale -> ../lib/locale

[Sidenote: missing multiarch support is becoming a real problem...]
