OK, making some progress.  If I build a custom app with only one
locale, the following will add the locale package to an image:

Image recipe:
IMAGE_LINGUAS = "de-de"
IMAGE_INSTALL = "myapp-locale"

However, when I try to add glibc-locale to IMAGE_INSTALL, opkg has a
fit during packaging:

| Collected errors:

|     glibc-locale-be
|     glibc-locale-ca
|     glibc-locale-cs

|     glibc-locale-de

|     glibc-locale-zh-tw
| Please select one with opkg install or opkg flag prefer

So the question is how to convince opkg to pull in the glibc-locale-de
with the following provides:

Any ideas before I instrument the opkg code?

Thanks,
Cliff
