I think the lesson here is to not use localepurge?
Knut, I suspect parts of your system are still botched because of localepurge, if you run debsums with sudo it *could* *maybe* give an indication of which files were altered/removed WRT localization causing issues like the dictionary names. However that better had been handled in a forum.
Regarding your LANG setting... remove setlocale.sh, then log out, and back in. LANG should now have the values whatever you installed your system with (e.g. en_US-UTF-8). Make sure you select an appropriate country setting in systemsettings. setlocale.sh should be recreated upon saving the changes and should now be using UTF-8 and the specified country (e.g. es_ES.UTF-8).
Anyway. Moving bug to localepurge. Perhaps that package needs a a couple of warning signs pointing out that using it is going to break one's system. Certainly would be handy information.
