Public bug reported:
As of today, my locale changed for some unknown reason. I assume a apt
upgrade, but I actually don't know.
It used to be English South Africa (en_ZA), now it's Afrikaans South
Africa (af_ZA) While I understand Afrikaans, and I have 29 locales
installed, I don't understand why it was changed. I also don't know
where to change it back.
I've tried to dpkg reconfigure locales, and checked /etc/default/locale.
/etc/default/locale is set to en_ZA.UTF-8
$LANG is af_ZA.UTF-8 on login
$LC_* is en_US.UTF-8 (which is wrong for en_ZA)
/etc/environment contains no LANG, LC_, etc.
locale:
LANG=af_ZA.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=af:en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="af_ZA.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="af_ZA.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="af_ZA.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
I expect the environment variables of new logins to match
/etc/default/locale. That file is owned by root, readable by everyone,
and unmodified in almost 3 years.
