--- Begin Message ---Package: locales Version: 2.19-17 Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: valid administator configuration is lost on upgrade Hi, The current debconf script for the 'locales' package does not allow to choose the C.UTF-8 locale. Moreover, if an administrator write this valid value for the LANG variable in /etc/default/locale, the value will be overwritten as soon as the 'locales' package is reconfigurated. If I correctly follow the logic of the config script, one goal is to ensure that the chosen value is correct (i.e. supported). So, the current value is not always put in the debconf proposed list. However, the C.UTF-8 value is valid (as are C and POSIX but I'm less sure of their value). So, either the C.UTF-8 value (and perhaps C and POSIX) should be proposed when selecting the default environment locale, or, at very least, the config script must allow to keep it when it has manually be put into /etc/default/locale by the administrator. If you want to always allow this value, the current patch is enough: =============== --- locales.config 2015-03-14 10:30:53.000000000 +0100 +++ /tmp/locales.config 2015-04-09 15:05:40.257852467 +0200 @@ -547,9 +547,12 @@ fi DEFAULT_LOCALES="$(echo $RET | sed -e 's/ [^ ]*,/,/g' -e 's/ [^ ]*$//')" if [ -n "$DEFAULT_LOCALES" ]; then - db_subst locales/default_environment_locale locales $DEFAULT_LOCALES - db_input medium locales/default_environment_locale || true + DEFAULT_LOCALES="C, C.UTF-8, POSIX, $DEFAULT_LOCALES" + else + DEFAULT_LOCALES="C, C.UTF-8, POSIX" fi + db_subst locales/default_environment_locale locales $DEFAULT_LOCALES + db_input medium locales/default_environment_locale || true ;; *) break =============== Feel free to adjust the list of always supported locales (ie C and POSIX) If you want to only allow the C, C.UTF-8, and POSIX locales when they have been manually set up (so they do not show up on default install), I can provide an updated patch. Just tell me.
