Package: locales Version: 2.2.5-11.2 Severity: important I see that various woody users have been having trouble generating locales at apt-get install time, but that running dpkg-reconfigure solved the problem.
It has not worked for me. Running 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' allows me to select the list of locales to be generated, and then prompts me for a default locale (allowing me to choose amongst the locales I have just selected along with the usual defaults), but then generates no locales. /etc/locale.gen continues to contain: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf # Do not edit within this region if you want your changes to be preserved # by debconf. Instead, make changes before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION # FOR localeconf" line, and/or after the "### END DEBCONF SECTION FOR # localeconf" line. ### END DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ... and in fact the file's MTIME hasn't even been updated (it's still April 29th, 2002 - more than seven months ago). I did not see any error messages either, just: Generating locales... Generation complete.
