Package: locales Version: 2.2.5-14.3 Followup-For: Bug #156386 I've encountered this bug on two machines today.
I installed `language-env', which in turn installed `locales'. The debconf screens for `locales' popped up and I've selected those localed I wanted. Then `locale-gen' was started but didn't do anything: No locales were generated. I started `locale-gen' from the console: It didn't do anything. Looking at `/etc/locale.gen' I found that the file was empty except for some comments and no locales were listed there (so that's why `locale-gen' didn't do anything). Then I ran `dpkg-reconfigure locales' and selected my locales again (the previously selected locales were not there any more). This time they were saved correctly and the `locale-gen' generated the locales. It seems like the selections made with debconf are discarded when you install `locales' for the very first time. When you try again, everything works fine. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux bento 2.4.19 #5 Die Sep 10 23:42:51 CEST 2002 i586 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages locales depends on: ii debconf 1.0.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 [glibc-2.2.5-14.3] 2.2.5-14.3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an
