--- Begin Message ---Package: locales Version: 2.27-5 Severity: normal When upgrading, I got the following: [...] Setting up locales (2.27-5) ... Generating locales (this might take a while)... aa_DJ.UTF-8... done aa_DJ.ISO-8859-1... done aa_ER.UTF-8... done [...] zu_ZA.UTF-8... done zu_ZA.ISO-8859-1... done Generation complete. Setting up libbinutils:amd64 (2.31-1) ... Setting up keyutils (1.5.9-9.3) ... Setting up locales-all (2.27-5) ... [...] i.e. the locales are regenerated by locales.postinst, but then /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is removed by locales-all.postinst, so that the regeneration of the locales takes time and is useless. /var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.postinst contains: # Update requested locales if locales-all is not installed if dpkg-query -W -f='${db:Status-Abbrev}' locales-all 2>/dev/null | grep -q '^.i' ; then echo "locales-all installed, skipping locales generation" else locale-gen fi I think that the '^.i' regexp is incorrect during an upgrade. According to the dpkg-query(1) man page: Desired action: u = Unknown i = Install h = Hold r = Remove p = Purge Package status: n = Not-installed c = Config-files H = Half-installed U = Unpacked F = Half-configured W = Triggers-awaiting t = Triggers-pending i = Installed Error flags: <empty> = (none) R = Reinst-required so that it is testing the package status of locales-all. But during an upgrade, the actual status is "iU " (things may be different if packages are upgraded separately). Shouldn't the desired action be tested instead, i.e. '^i'? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages locales depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.67 ii libc-bin 2.27-5 ii libc-l10n 2.27-5 locales recommends no packages. locales suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * locales/locales_to_be_generated: All locales * locales/default_environment_locale: None

[ Samuel Thibault ] * patches/hurd-i386/git-fcntl64.diff: Fix returning value returned by __f_setlk. . [ Aurelien Jarno ] * debian/control.in/libc: breaks r-cran-later (<< 0.7.5+dfsg-2), ie versions built with tinycthread. Closes: #915339. * debian/patches/git-updates.diff: update from upstream stable branch. * debian/testsuite-xfail-debian.mk: allow tst-pkey to fail on ppc64el, ppc64 powerpc and powerpcspe as the glibc implementation is still only partial. Closes: #914997. * debian/control.in/main: glibc-source: add breaks on cross-toolchain-base (<< 29~) and cross-toolchain-base-ports (<< 25~) as those packages are not compatible with glibc 2.28. Closes: #915621. * debian/testsuite-xfail-debian.mk: whitelist misc/tst-preadvwritev2 and misc/tst-preadvwritev64v2 on x32. The failing part of those tests is new, and the it looks like a kernel bug in the compat layer. * debian/testsuite-xfail-debian.mk: whitelist elf/tst-execstack-needed on riscv64, it is similar to the already whitelisted test elf/test-xfail-tst-execstack. * debian/debhelper.in/locales.postinst: fix regexp checking for installed locales package.
