This is normal, you have to logout/login. > 6- I invoked: cat /etc/default/locale LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15 seems to > appear Ok. > 7- I logged in and out, no change when repeating step 4 and 5. > - I invoked cat /etc/environment | grep LANG, this showed my previous > LANG setting, LANG="en_US.UTF-8". Please read /usr/share/doc/locales/NEWS.Debian.gz, locale variables have been moved away from /etc/environment because this file belongs to PAM and locales should not have modified it. Your display manager has to be fixed to read /etc/default/locale instead of /etc/environment. Please tell which display manager you are running (xdm/kdm/gdm/other?) so that we can reassign this bug to the right package. Thanks for your report.
