With this change in place, I get an error reporting that the nb-nn
combination isn't supported, which is a long step forward from
earlier. :)

I guess I need some packages missing in Debian/Squeeze. :(

How strange.  I hope you or someone else understanding what is going on
can bug report it to the right place.

Btw, do you know of any other free software machine translation tools
for .po files?  Is apertium the only useful free software MT tool
available?
