open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or

open("/usr/lib/locale/en_GB/LC_CTYPE", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or

svn: error: cannot set the locale

Does indeed look suspiciously like a missing locale...

Installing the glibc-locale package off the SuSE CDs fixed the problem -
though I'm a little puzzled as to why it wasn't installed in the first place.
