[Bug 83889] Re: apt shows incorrect language strings if used with specific locale settings - and aborts package installation if you confirm installation
Only if your language/locale settings are inconsistent A problem is topical after an system install. If settings inconsistent, this is because inconsistent by system installer. After installation locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_TIME=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_NAME=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_ALL= /etc/default/locale LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 And Russian language in user account setted I do not know, how to correct this settings if it is inconsistent. ** Attachment added: user account window with russian language selected https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/83889/+attachment/3832510/+files/localeUbuntu.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83889 Title: apt shows incorrect language strings if used with specific locale settings - and aborts package installation if you confirm installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/83889/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Please note that a list over all applications or parts of applications that don't honor the LANGUAGE environment variable would be long; the issue in this bug report uncovers one example. Therefore, in Natty and Oneiric both LANGUAGE and LC_MESSAGES are used to denote the language. On 2011-10-11 16:41, Leo Arias wrote: Still happening here on Oneiric.

** Description changed: - Binary package hint: apt + apt 0.6.46.4ubuntu7, Ubuntu ? + apt ?, Kubuntu 8.10 + apt 0.8.3ubuntu7, Ubuntu 10.10 This is about apt with LANGUAGE=de_AT:de (gets set by gdm/session- manager or so).

How is this low priority? I'm not sure what is being talked about with shell environments. The way this manifests for me is that I got to System - Administration - Language Support (my apologies if that's not the exact wording...translating from Portuguese atm) and pick a different language and it stays with English. If it is a shell problem it seems to be because the shell is not being properly updated by the language support system. -- apt shows incorrect language strings if used with specific locale settings - and aborts package installation if you confirm installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This bug (duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/307798) is set to low priority. However, this effects EVERY non-English speaking apt-get user. Issue (in Danish): Efter denne handling, vil 86,0kB yderligere diskplads være brugt. Vil du fortsætte [J/n]? j Afbryder. Issue (in French): Suite à cette action, serait 86,0 Ko d'espace disque supplémentaires seront utilisés. Voulez-vous continuer [O / n]? o Abandon. Translation (in English): Following this action, would 86.0 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y / n]? y Aborting. In other words, the user selected J for Ja (Yes in English), but the expected affirmative input is Y, so apt-get assumes NO, NEJ, NADDA, ABORT, CANCEL, Which is very wrong. Confirmed bug since 2007 and still in Ubuntu 10.10.

Just 2 cents... If it will be changed, it should be done properly. Justification: in Russian localized version acceptable answers are [Д/н], which corresponds to English [Y/n]. In this respect we had problem with aptitude, if I remember correctly, which accepted (or still accepts, can not check this right now) all variants: localized and non- localized. The catch is: in the layout of Russian keyboard Cyrillic н, which corresponds to no, is the same key as English y and if person is not paying attention to current keyboard layout the final result while selecting Russian н will be the opposite of intended. I would rather make it untranslatable and not dependable on current locale: * no problems if language is set, but switching of keyboard layout does not work by any reason (workaround is easy, but one have to know it) * situations like described above are not possible -- apt shows incorrect language strings if used with specific locale settings - and aborts package installation if you confirm installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This bug is about having LANG/LC_ALL/LC_MESSAGES set to not matching locales. This should not be the case on a normal Ubuntu installation, but only if you have customized your shell environment.

I have the same problem. I'm using Kubuntu 8.10. In system settings (Regional and Language option) my country is set to Brazil, and my language is set to English.
