Bug#632798: libc6: broken LANGUAGE design

This is another bug, as far as I can tell. $ LANG=en_US LANGUAGE=de_DE cp cp: missing file operand Try `cp --help' for more information. The above explanation is nonsense --- the actual cause of the above behavior is that there is no plain en_US locale installed here. $ locale -a | grep en en_US.utf8 $ LC_ALL=gobbledegook LANGUAGE=de cp cp: missing file operand Try `cp --help' for more information. $ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de cp cp: Fehlendes Dateioperand „cp --help“ gibt weitere Informationen. It _might_ be more intuitive for non-installed locales to enable LANGUAGE, too; if so, you can pretend I was complaining about that and call it #4. Otherwise, please feel free to ignore the example.

Hi Jonathan, On 2011-07-05 22:22:51 -0500, Jonathan Nieder wrote: 1. On my local machine, I could not reproduce the same effect. That's probably because no default locale is configured here. After making the default locale de_DE.UTF-8 using dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales, /etc/environment is empty and /etc/default/locale looks like this # File generated by update-locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 #LANGUAGE=en_US and ssh localhost locale still shows LANGUAGE=. Any idea what's different between your setup and mine? My settings come from the installation. /etc/default/locale was: # File generated by update-locale #LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en (I only added a LC_TIME=en_DK since, hoping it would be taken into account for the time displayed by gdm). FYI, I installed the machine on 2010-01-04. I did: $ wget http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.jigdo $ wget wget http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.template $ jigdo-lite debian-testing-amd64-netinst.jigdo then growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso to burn a DVD. The installer asked me which language to use, and I chose English (could be American English). Note: I saw that on a machine reinstalled with Debian squeeze, /etc/default/locale only sets LANG, but this may have been manually set by the admin. 2. openssh-server has the following in its default sshd/config: AcceptEnv LANG LC_* That is unfortunate. Independently of everything else, this list ought to be expanded to include LANGUAGE. I agree. This would be a nice addition if /etc/default/locale does not set LANGUAGE. Now, if LANGUAGE is set in /etc/default/locale, this change may not solve the problem due to: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=313317 However, even if this ssh bug is fixed, in case LANGUAGE is not defined on the ssh client's side, the system must not set it by default in the user's back. So, in short, LANGUAGE should not be set in /etc/default/locale. I agree concerning 3 and 4 (with corrected explanations). 5. As you mentioned, when LANGUAGE has an effect, it takes precedence over LC_MESSAGES. The principle of least surprise might indicate that the locale in LC_MESSAGES should be used in preference to LANGUAGE, but that would make it impossible to express something like what is currently meant by LANGUAGE=fr:de LC_MESSAGES=de on an installation where most programs are translated to German. (It means: programs using catgets should use German, while programs using gettext should prefer French if possible. Intent: I'd prefer French, but barring that, please give me German instead of English). Hmm... OK, I thought that all programs were using gettext. If one is willing to break with 10 years of gettext behavior, it should be possible to change this without that downside by prepending $LC_MESSAGES to LANGUAGE when and only when it is not already an item in $LANGUAGE. A nice side-effect would be the ability to partially work around (2), as you mentioned. What do you think? What pieces does the above description miss? It would also be necessary that /etc/default/locale does not set LANGUAGE (but perhaps this is already fixed for the new installers). Said otherwise, as LANGUAGE is not standard (e.g. for portable Unix scripts and other settings) and has the precedence, it should never be set by the system, only by the user (who doesn't have necessarily root access) if he wishes too. And of course, the specification of LANGUAGE in the glibc manual should be correct (bug 632795). -- Vincent Lefèvre vinc...@vinc17.net - Web: http://www.vinc17.net/ 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: http://www.vinc17.net/blog/ Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Please note that eglibc (more precisely the locales package) never defines LANGUAGE= in /etc/default/locale, it is done in the installer. The only things it does is disabling the LANGUAGE entry if it is not compatible with the selected locales. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#632917: libc6: getaddrinfo fails prematurely; gethostbyname does not
Package: libc6 Version: 2.13-4 Severity: normal If there are multiple nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf and the first of them refuses DNS queries for some domains, getaddrinfo will fail while gethostbyname succeeds.
