Bug#687249: debian-installer: Missing time zone region
I'm sorry, I thought it was the time zone. I just tried it again in Virtualbox with an iso image I just downloaded (DVD1, here : http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/). I tried to pick other languages than French, but I had the same problem : After picking Other and then Indian Ocean, Reunion is not in the list. I attached a screenshot showing it.

After the installation, dpkg-reconfigure tzdata fixed it. Please be more specific. There is no place where one chooses Reunion as a *time zone*. Localechooser allows choosing it as Country, territory or area: after choosing the language, at the very beginning of the installation process. Is that what you did choose? First pick French, then pich Autre when prompted for a country. If so, Reunion *should* appear in Indian Ocean. Choosing Reunion there should set the timezone as Indian/Reunion later on (indeed without any question asked about *time zone*). So, I don't really understand the meaning of your report. attachment: screenshot_12092012-09:24:19.png

It seems RE is missing from
localechooser/debian/templates
isn't it? It seems nothing in the source code tells that it is in the
Indian Ocean.
regionmap, in localechooser's top directory should:
.../...
FR Europe
.../...
CC Indian Ocean
CX Indian Ocean
TF Indian Ocean
HM Indian Ocean
IO Indian Ocean
KM Indian Ocean
MG Indian Ocean
MU Indian Ocean
MV Indian Ocean
RE Indian Ocean
SC Indian Ocean
YT Indian Ocean
.../...
This file is used by the mktemplates.continent script to build
templates at package build time.
AndI think I know what's happening. Look at this code in
mktemplates.continent:
open (L, $iso3166tab) || die $iso3166tab: $!;
while (L) {
chomp;
my ($code, $country) = split(' ', $_, 2);
# Bubulle 5/25/2004 We should find a way to avoid enforcing ASCII here
if ($country !~ /^[-_A-Za-z0-9 !@#$%^Z*()-_+={};:',.?|]+$/) {
print STDERR I: skipping country $country; not ASCII\n;
next;
}
# Escape commas
$country =~ s/,/\\,/g;
$code2country{$code}=$country;
$country2code{$country}=$code;
$codes_listed{$code}=0;
}
I'm afraid that, when localechooser is built, we drop all countries
that have non ASCII characters in their *English* name in ISO-3166.
And, guess what:
iso_3166_entry
alpha_2_code=RE
alpha_3_code=REU
numeric_code=638
name=Réunion /
If I'm correct, we should also be missing:
iso_3166_entry
alpha_2_code=BL
alpha_3_code=BLM
numeric_code=652
name=Saint Barthélemy /
(it should be in Caribbean)
Probably the same for Åland Island, etc.
Frankly speaking, I have no idea why, in 2004, we decided to drop
choices with non ASCII characters. I guess this is because of some
limitation of debconf or po-debconf at that time. Or maybe because we
have interfaces where only pure ASCII is possible.
We need someone to test-builta D-I image with localechooser having
this filtering commentedand check what happens..:)
