So /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log is (almost) full of
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
messages.
(I am not sure what does it mean exactly. Some functionality is lost? Essential
functionality or non-essential, or what essentiality-grade..? What can we say?
Was the release-upgrade successful or not?.. What to do?)
do-release-upgrade finished (somehow).
After reboot, the locale was (I cannot recall in full detail) something
"C.UTF-8"s.
I manually reconstructed the locale. (Via: Language Support GUI,
/etc/default/locale, /var/lib/locales/supported.d/en, /etc/locale.gen,
'rm -r /usr/lib/locale/*', locale-gen .)
Please *test* do-release-upgrade with locale-encodings other than UTF-8.
(And languages other than en_US.)
