Fair enough - you've convinved me :-) But should this bug remain open, with lowered severity and a better title and description, to document this fact for users? Unless there's already a bug covering this matter. Thanks for the help. Best, Gard signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Yes, you do ;-) Certain programs, in this case luatex, require correct locale setup to work. It would be nice if we could detect these problems beforehand and warn the user with a clear message, but also this is non-trivial. If the locale are incorrectly setup, there is not much to do but fail. Think about: You could configure to set your shell to /bin/IamNotThereBash and it would of course create a lot of problems. Maintainer scripts cannot work around all possible misconfiguration of a system.

And I solved it by generating the locales that my user had set. But it still seems like a bug that postinst fails if the system doesn't have a certain locale. Or maybe I'm viewing this incorrectly?
