Issue #4695 has been updated by Daniel Capo Sobral.
This is a very serious issue for me. Postgresql databases on Debian are initialized to the locale used to install it, which means they get ASCII as their locale. The only way to change that is to completely remove the database and initialize it again, and any other locale other than UTF-8 mandates that all tables be created with the exact same locale. So, the consequence, to me, is that I cannot install Postgresql through Puppet -- a very serious limitation on my environment. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4695: Puppet should not reset locale https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4695 Author: Mo Morsi Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: exec Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Puppet resets various locale related ENV variables to the posix default of 'C' immediately before invoked Kernel.exec to launch an executable (occurs when running a Single_exec in a recipe) http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/util.rb#L295 The problem is, the python interpreter will attempt to parse these variables to determine the default locale, and if it is set to 'C' (or not set at all as it will default to 'C'), 'None' will be returned, ignoring the true default locale. Thus any python script launched via Single_exec from a puppet recipe will not be able to get the default locale by invoking locale.getdefaultlocale(). This functionality is part of the standard python library and is relied upon by many various Python scripts. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
