Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
This is about apt with LANGUAGE=de_AT:de (gets set by gdm/session-
manager or so).
Install/remove a package with apt-get. You will see a confirmation prompt and
the keys to confirm/cancel the installation (e.g.: [Y/n]). Type 'y'. Expected
result: apt-get will continue.
I get: Abort.
snippet with my current locale settings:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-standard
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut
Reading state information... Fertig
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
ubuntu-standard
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Die folgenden Pakete werden ENTFERNT:
ubuntu-standard
0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 1 zu entfernen und 1 nicht aktualisiert.
Es müssen 0B Archive geholt werden.
Nach dem Auspacken werden 45.1kB Plattenplatz freigegeben worden sein.
Möchten Sie fortfahren [J/n]? J
Abbruch.
</end snippet>
Oh well, why does this happen?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
[EMAIL PROTECTED] echo $LANGUAGE
de_AT:de
If I change $LANG to de_AT.UTF-8, it just works!
Seems like, the strings for what is displayed as the question, and the
strings which are used to compare the answer are not taken from the same
locale (group).
Kinda disturbing, please fix.
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
--
apt shows incorrect language strings if used with specific locale settings -
and aborts package installation if you confirm installation
