Probably caused by the removal of %_install_lang support in anaconda. Setting | %_install_langs C:de:en:es:fr gives | # du -sbh usr/share/locale/ usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.3/extensions usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.10/extensions | 18M usr/share/locale/ | 13M usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.3/extensions | 12M usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.10/extensions on a FC6.92 based small Gnome installation > Splitting out Firefox's langpacks won't solve your problem. Separate langpacks make it possible to install support for new languages. %lang requires package removal plus reinstallation; this was given as an argument against the %_install_lang feature in anaconda too.
