Public bug reported:
`pg_createcluster` accepts a `--locale` option that tells it what locale
it should create the new cluster with. During the creation process, the
script prints information about the settings it's about to use. When it
does this, it ignores the user-provided `--locale` value and instead
prints the current `LC_CTYPE` environment setting.
Illustration:
% locale | grep -iE '(LANG|LC_ALL|LC_CTYPE)='
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8
% sudo pg_createcluster --locale C 9.4 test1
Creating new cluster 9.4/test1 ...
config /etc/postgresql/9.4/test1
data /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/test1
locale en_GB.utf8
Flags of /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/test1 set as -------------e-C
port 5434
% export LC_CTYPE='C'
% sudo pg_createcluster --locale C 9.4 test2
Creating new cluster 9.4/test2 ...
config /etc/postgresql/9.4/test2
data /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/test2
locale C
Flags of /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/test2 set as -------------e-C
port 5435
Note that `pg_createcluster` DOES in fact use the expected locale
setting when it creates the cluster — it just prints the wrong one
(which is very confusing).
I believe the fix is as simple as this:
*** a/pg_createcluster 2015-06-20 02:38:52.000000000 -0500
--- b/pg_createcluster 2015-06-20 02:39:09.000000000 -0500
***************
*** 363,367 ****
}
} else {
! my $loc = setlocale (LC_CTYPE);
print "Creating new cluster $version/$cluster ...\n";
print " config $confdir\n data $datadir\n locale $loc\n";
--- 363,367 ----
}
} else {
! my $loc = $locale || setlocale (LC_CTYPE);
print "Creating new cluster $version/$cluster ...\n";
print " config $confdir\n data $datadir\n locale $loc\n";
