Hi Julian,

since I'm building -CURRENT at least once a day with this bc
and there have been no other reports, this does appear to be
a local problem on your system (or a problem with CTM).

Yes, but the correct fix is to provide the missing file, which
is a symbolic link to en_US.msg. In fact, most of the message
catalogs are provided by symlinks (71 of 96 files in the locales
directory).

My assumption is, that CTM does not correctly encode and create
symbolic links, so you miss them ... (but I did not check the
CTM sources to verify that assumption).

This ought to be fixed in CTM and then a delta should be created
that provides these missing symlinks - since you are one of very
few CTM users left, you may want to create a patch ...

Since the mail list strips binary attachments, I'm including a
compresssed and uuencoded TAR file with these symlinks below.
Extract from within src/contrib/bc/locales to generate them:

end

But since further symlinks will occur if more locales are added,
the problem will re-appear for CTM users, unless symlinks are
supported by CTM.
