Package: locales Version: 2.28-10 Severity: minor File: /usr/sbin/update-locale
Hi, when I invoke /usr/sbin/update-locale, the /etc/default/locale file gets changed even if there was no functional change. This might trigger intrusion detection mechanisms. Please consider adapting the script to do the following: - write new file /etc/default/locale.tmp - compare files, ignoring order ot environment variables, whitespace and comment lines - if no change, remove /etc/default/locale.tmp - if changed, mv /etc/default/locale.tmp /etc/default/locale This avoids unnecessary alarms. Thanks!
