Hi Doko, the package *is* required if you programmatically need to have “all”, or at least a large set of, locales available.
Possible use case here is a package dependency (declaratively). In the specific case of FusionForge, I have seen it (both the native tracker and the embedded mediawiki) malfunction if locales-all was not installed, even getting PHP to segfault. Another use case is to ensure something is available to users, especially nōn-root users, in the default location (so there is no need to set LOCPATH. (This can help ssh, sudo, etc.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394929 Title: Please provide 'locales-all' as in Debian To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1394929/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
