unkillable processes problem (which I can personally vouch for
I've just run the same version of localedef on 2.6.22-14, where it runs
fine, and on 2.6.22-15, where it hangs.
Here's the output of strace localedef immediately before it hung:
1218150691.384821 creat(/usr/lib/locale/en_NZ.utf8/LC_CTYPE, 0666) = 3
1218150691.403450 writev(3,
This workaround worked for me, also.
HTH.

I suspect that Martin Kealey probably is on to the real issue.
@Martin Pitt: why are you only testing with -14 when the current Gutsy
upgrades are at -15?
@Alecz20: I finally managed to test on two systems. As you probably
know, on slower low memory systems loading up a new Ubuntu, updating,
and
The strace output starts with:
execve(/usr/bin/localedef-real, [/usr/bin/localedef-real, --no-
archive, --magic=20051014, -i, en_NZ, -c, -f, UTF-8,
en_NZ.UTF-8], [/* 42 vars */])
Adjust to suit the locales you actually have installed.
(I moved /usr/bin/localedef to /usr/bin/localedef-real, and
My script also writes a history log, which says:
2008-08-08,11:02:05+1200 [7651] /usr/bin/localedef --no-archive
--magic=20051014 -i en_AU -c -f UTF-8 en_AU.UTF-8
2008-08-08,11:02:07+1200 [7680] /usr/bin/localedef --no-archive
--magic=20051014 -i en_BW -c -f UTF-8 en_BW.UTF-8
NoOP, any idea what happens if you do this between step 1 and 2:
Reboot with 2.3.22-14 Kernel
I suspect the upgrade will go smoothly, since Martin Pitt said he didn't
have any problems with upgrading a fresh gutsy installed (hence not an
updated kernel)

Unfortunately no as I've already
Me too, twice. I've now seen this problem on two upgrades from Gutsy to
Hardy.
In both cases the Gutsy machines were updated to the latest kernel
(2.3.22-15).
Following the general advice to kill the locale generating processes
(several times) to reach the end of the upgrade process, accepting
I have also had this problem (makes Gutsy - Hardy a pain), with exactly
the same symptoms and solution.
As it seems that the problem is well documented, and there is a work-around,
why is this bug still marked Incomplete ? Is there any file one of us can add
to this bug report to help reproduce
Well... I suspect this will not get fixed in time. I don't know how much
they fix stuff for older versions (e.g. Gutsy). I wonder if they can
somehow instruct users to upgrade from the older kernel rather than the
new one to avoid the entire hassle of fixing the upgrade bug

Gutsy-Hardy
I tried very hard to reproduce this. I did test gutsy-hardy upgrades
with the following five methods:
* gutsy chroot, partial upgrade to hardy's locales, libc6, and
belocs-locales-bin
* gutsy installation, partial upgrade
* gutsy installation, full apt-get dist-upgrade
* gutsy installation,
Martin, when you say partial upgrade, full apt-get dist-upgrade,
etc. are you talking about upgrading after switching to hardy's
repositories, or getting up to date with the latest gutsy packages?
As far as I can tell from my own experiences and the comments above,
this bug only occurs when using
I can confirm that this still occurs even with 8.04.1:
1. Fully upgraded/updated Gutsy (Gnome desktop) machine as of today Aug 5, 2008
2. Insert 8.04.1 Alternate CD and select the upgrade option on the popup window
3. Allow it to fetch updates from the network in addition to the CD
4. Upgrade
