What version of the pirut package do you have installed and what locale are you
running with?

Comment 2 David Filiatrault 2008-03-26 02:57:43 UTC
pirut v1.3.28-1.fc8.noarch
locale=US
FYI, using the "fedora-8-i386" vmware appliance from
http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/1139

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2008-05-28 19:40:28 UTC
This is a problem with the image as distributed by VMWare; you'll have to have
them fix their image.
