Package: locales Version: 2.7-18 Severity: normal
Hi, running # dpkg-reconfigure locales gives me a menu to select installable locales from, and a second menu to select default locale. To work around a certain problem, I ran this command and selected "All" locales to be generated, and "None" as the default locale, because I was unable finding a locale named "C" in the list. Since this didn't solve my problem, I tried to undo the change and ran the command again, to reset my default locale to "en_US.UTF-8". This results in this output: # /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure locales locales-all installed, skipping locales generation *** update-locale: Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Please see #565984 for a related problem. Not specifying a higher severity because the idea should occur to only very few people in the first place, and because these problems are very tightly related, but feel free to up the severity if you disagree.
