Package: locales Version: 2.3.1-17 Severity: normal Configuring locales doesn't work as expected. Upon completion of the configure process, the selected values are not written to locale.gen.
I upgrade recently from testing to unstable. I was also using debconf to manage locale.gen before. But it seems that the new package postinst does its checks differently. In my case, it refuses to write the selected values to the file. I overwrote the locale.gen with the locale.gen.dpkg-dist which was present and try to reconfigure again. The same behaviour occured. After checking the postinst script, I saw that removing the locale.gen will make the package write the Debconf values. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux Arendt.Contre.COM 2.4.19+ctx #1 sam nov 9 22:33:44 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA Versions of packages locales depends on: ii debconf 1.3.3 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 [glibc-2.3.1-17] 2.3.1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- debconf information: * locales/default_environment_locale: C * locales/locales_to_be_generated: en_CA ISO-8859-1, en_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8, es_MX ISO-8859-1, es_MX.UTF-8 UTF-8, fr_CA ISO-8859-1, fr_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
