** Description changed: Binary package hint: belocs-locales-bin install-language-pack gets called in the postinst script for all language-pack-XX-base, with the locale of that package. This calls for trouble, if you have multiple languages installed and set PURGE=yes in /etc/belocs/locale-gen.conf: locale-gen will purge all existing locales, but only create the currently installed ones again. The fix for this appears to be: 1. Introduce a "--no-purge" command line option for locale-gen 2. Use this option from install-language-pack Fortunately, the default for PURGE is "no", so you have to manually change this in "locale-gen.conf", but it's a bug nonetheless. - I might file another "wishlist" bug to always regenerate all locales, if - PURGE is "yes", but that's something different as far as I can see. + (Additionally, when a locale is given, only this locale should get + purged (instead of all). But this changes existing behaviour, is not + really necessary to fix this bug and should be a new bug itself + probably.)
