Package: locales Version: 2.37-16 Severity: grave A fresh `debootstrap unstable' chroot plus `apt install locales`:
Preconfiguring packages ... locales failed to preconfigure, with exit status 2 dpkg: error processing package locales (--configure): installed locales package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: locales This is coming from this line in locales.config: DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT="$(sed -En -e '/^LANG="?([^"]+)"?/h; g; $s//\1/p' /etc/default/locale /etc/locale.conf 2>/dev/null)" /etc/locale.conf does not exist (and it doesn't exist on my regular system too), so sed fails with "can't read: No such file or directory" error message (which is sent to /dev/null), and since whole script is run under `set -e', it exits here. This is caused by "debian/debhelper.in/locales.config: Extract default environment LANG using only sed" change in 2.37-16. Do we really need /etc/locale.conf at this time? I think it's unused for a very long time. Also see EE= assignment at the very beginning of this script.
