Package: debian-installer-manual Version: N/A; reported 2005-06-02 Severity: normal
When following the instructions in Section C.4. on a Debian box to build another Debian box, the configuration step in C.4.4. fails if LANG is set in the chroot'd environment. That is, the following step: # chroot /mnt/debinst /bin/bash requires that the subordinate bash not have LANG set. The problem is that the locales package has not been installed in the debootstrap'd environment when the chroot is performed, but the libraries expect the locales to be available if LANG is set. The problem has been observed on i386 and alpha, and likely applies to all architectures. Moreover, it may apply to other UNIX-like systems that support locales. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: sparc Kernel: Linux cscires 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
