   | Long time no see!
 
 Yes, many decades since I have been in Europe.
 
   | If that's the case, you may close this case,
 
 I'll leave that for now, in case someone wants to act on your suggestions.
 
   | but I suggest that you
   | might want to add to the pkgsrc DESCRIPTION file that this it doesn't
   | support locales.
 
 On NetBSD - pkgsrc supports more than that, on other systems it might
 work just fine, so:
 
   | While you're at it, possibly also remove "available
   | build options: nls, Use native language support." ... which, as I now
   | understand it, doesn't work.
 
 that might be inappropriate if it will work elsewhere.   I will leave
 it to those who deal with pkgsrc issues to work out what is the right
 way to handle this.
