Description: GNU C Library: National Language (locale) data [support]
Machine-readable data files, shared objects and programs used by the
This introduces a Breaks/Replaces between two packages in the minimal
set (locales, libc-bin). This will warrant upgrade testing from both
14.04 and 15.10. Has any upgrade testing been done already?
The Breaks/Replaces from locales to libc-bin is definitely required, due
to the move of the update-locale script.
I see the breaks relationship is also bidirectional, with libc6 Breaks:
(locales << 2.23), which further emphasizes the need for upgrade
testing. Why is the breaks in that direction required? Is this related
to the drop of the locale-gen --purge call from libc.postinst?
Otherwise, everything in this looks good to me. It appears to be a
faithful translation of the existing langpack handling code in the
Ubuntu-specific package, and where there is delta it makes sense in
terms of bugfixing of the existing behavior (e.g., properly splitting
the handling of /etc/locale.gen vs. /var/lib/locales/supported.d, and
fixing handling of langpacks to not modify contents of /usr/lib/locale,
so that the set of available locales is always the union of the debconf-
configured locales and the langpacks).

[FFe]Please provide 'locales-all' as in Debian

Bug description:
Repurposing this bug as a Feature Freeze exception request to merge
langpack-locales into glibc, and make locales-all available in the
process. Working on getting that all done and properly tested by
tonight, but if this doesn't make it, it'll happen in early 16.10
instead.
[Original Report]
Hi,
Debian provides a 'locales-all' package, which is very convenient to
ensure all locales are available, and installs very quickly.
It's particularly handy when providing i18n'd web applications (e.g. that use
php-gettext).
As they may be accessed by visitors of all supported languages, rather than
documenting how the server administrator should enable a list of 10-15
languages by reconfiguring 'locales', the packager can just add 'locales-all'
to the Recommends or Depends.
See for instance the FusionForge package in Debian
(https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gforge-web-apache2).
Cheers!
Sylvain
