Public bug reported:
It seems that for locales which have got language variants (e.g. ca and
ca@valencia, sr and sr@latin), language-selector sets the locale-related
environment variables incorrectly as the variant instead of the main
language, despite the main language being selected at install time.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a fresh Ubuntu installation
2. Select Catalan as the language (language code 'ca'), and a location in Spain
3. Continue the installation until finished
4. Log in to your new Ubuntu installation
5. The desktop is translated in the ca@valencia variant of the Catalan locale
Expected:
5. The desktop is translated in the main variant of the Catalan locale:
ca
Here's what such a system has for a locale after installation. Notice
the LANGUAGE, LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES variables being set
to the incorrect values.
$ locale
LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=ca@valencia:en
LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia
LC_NUMERIC="ca_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ca_ES.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia
LC_MONETARY="ca_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia
LC_PAPER="ca_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ca_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ca_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ca_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ca_ES.UTF-8"
