Localization Manager (addlocale)

The directory appears to have the users permissions but they cannot be changed.
The directory cannot be deleted.
Even root cannot delete this directory! ???
Permissions
dr-x------
Owner can view only, everyone else is blocked.
I try to get to the directory using super user mode file manager from the user account and the directory does not show!
Should the script be run from the root account, rather than just as root from a user account?

JohnBoy,
no idea how this happens. gvfs sounds to me like gnome virtual file system which for sure has nothing to do with addlocale. I tested each of the 73 languages against an updated 2009.1 and never encountered this before.
Running the script as root or as normal user and providing the root password should not make any difference. Can you be more specific? Which language did you select and what do you mean by OOwriter is not compliant?
Please note that some applications may have a less complete translation in some languages. So depending on the chosen language you may get a fully translated PCLOS control center or some parts of it remain in English.
PS: the intermediate Synaptic message can be ignored, just hit ok and let the script finish.
-p.

Tried that, it is still in english.

By not compliant I meant that it did not have the new language, which as I later mentioned seems to be because that language did not have it translated.
The .gvfs directory must have errored because the script could not access it ..... I have no idea what it is for or how it got there. I thought at the time it might be something the script placed there ... seems not.
I have installed UK English, Irish and French. The Irish language is obviously not fully translated judging by the others. That is what threw me I guess ... a mix of Irish and English showing in some places.
I did ignore the popup but I presumed it should not be there as it is a left over from the big update, which is why I mentioned it.

@ kalwisti: sorry, is corrected, thanks for the hint!
@ Uggla: maybe you can try running addlocale again, if it worked for Antje it should also work for you ;)
@JohnBoy: good to hear this seems to be solved! The gvfs directory must have been there before already and I have no clue why the script should access this at all. Maybe during the update system phase? But then this should also have happened when simply running a synaptic -> update all. The synaptic message indeed is a relict fromn the last big update and once that was applied can be safely ignored.

Works as advertised, apart from a few measly issues with ill-behaved programs that do not look at the KDEGLOBALS but have their own setting dialog.
Sterling job and something we have been waiting for for years! We're extremely grateful for this nice addition that will probably increase the appeal of PCLinuxOS incredibly and will finally warrant a change of the age-old blurb "PCLinuxOS is an English-only distro......".
PCLinuxOS is an international distro....!
Very very nice, Pinoc. From the Dutch and Belgian user community we say "thank you!"
:D :D :D :D :D
