Package: locales Version: 2.11.3-4 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line ***
I am trying to use debconf to preseed the values for the locales package in Debian squeeze, so that I can reconfigure it non-interactively to, e.g., generate all locales. I am experiencing the same symptoms described in bug #592216; however, it works for other packages, e.g. sun-java6-bin: I am able to set the values with debconf-set-selections, but if I reconfigure locales with dpkg-reconfigure (or reinstall it with, e.g., apt-get install --reinstall locales, for that matter), debconf values are reset and the new locales are not generated. Bug #592216 is officially resolved in version 2.9-13 of the package. Squeeze has 2.11.3-4, so I expected the bug to be fixed, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
