Package: language-env
Version: 0.68
Severity: important
Tags: l10n
Using language-env with French causes the infamous perl locale warnings
to appear unless the "Install the following locales.\n" directive is
executed:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "fr_CA"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
This presumably affects other languages too. The main issue is that once
they will realize the problem, users will IMO most likely not be able to
figure out the cause.
set-language-env asks at the end:
Install the following locales.
foo
and gives instructions. The problem is that this needs superuser
privileges, which is not granted, and set-language-env doesn't offer to
"cancel" at this point. Additionally, there is no explanation of what
will happen if the installation isn't done, and the installation isn't
checked before applying the changes. This is inappropriate.
