If you have LANG set, then there's no need to set any of the others to =
the same locale.

If you set LC_TIME=3D"POSIX" then am / pm will display correctly.=20

I.E.:

$ cat /etc/env.d/02locale=20
LANG=3D"en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=3D"POSIX"
$ =20

The necessity for this is a glibc bug:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D3768
This does, however, show the value of setting LANG over LC_ALL (it being =
impossible, as discussed, to override the latter).
