Hummm, I just looked and got the following results:

(pixie pts0) # echo $LC_ALL ; echo $LC_TIME


(pixie pts0) #

What are they supposed to be set to for a system that wants to be in
US english??

Following are the contents of /etc/sysconfig/i18n:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
LC_COLLATE=C
(pixie pts0) #

As an update to what I originally posted I get this traceback on either
machine any time I actually rm or install a package. If I do a list or
abort the install or rm it just ends normally.
