Package: base-config Version: 2.11 Severity: wishlist Tags: l10n The language/country system now properly works in d-i and thus always provides a valid locale in debian-installer/locale.
This is debatable, but I propose to set the LANG variable to this locale in /etc/environment. This setting should be optional. For avoiding console problem with non Latin languages, I suggest to ask whether the user wants to set this locale as default for the whole system. This question should be medium priority for Latin languages (there is no immediate problem in having the default to anything else than English then) but maybe high priority for non Latin languages where console problems may then occur. Rationale : this would avoid questions like "Why is my GDM/KDM/whatever using English while I choosed French as language when installing Debian?" -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (400, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.1 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) Versions of packages base-config depends on: ii adduser 3.51 Add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.5.22 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii aptitude 0.2.13-2 curses-based apt frontend ii bsdutils 1:2.12-6 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii console-data 2002.12.04dbs-28 Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fall ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-47 Linux console and font utilities ii debconf 1.4.9 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.6.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii gettext-base 0.13.1-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii passwd 1:4.0.3-17 Change and administer password and -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
