Public bug reported: step to reproduce
take an AMI: ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20190816 (it runs by default the version 4.4.0-1090-aws of the kernel) install docker on it and launch a debian:stretch instance (can reproduce with ubuntu:latest) curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce sudo docker run -it debian:stretch bash from within the docker , install sudo and create a user "admin" part of the sudo group install the package 'locales', and then try to activate the locale fr_FR.UTF-8: apt-get install -y sudo locales adduser admin usermod -aG sudo admin su admin sudo localedef -i fr_FR -c -f UTF-8 -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias fr_FR.UTF-8 locale -a it displays : C C.UTF-8 POSIX now if you run the same command as root, from within the very same docker container: localedef -i fr_FR -c -f UTF-8 -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias fr_FR.UTF-8 locale -a it displays correctly: C C.UTF-8 POSIX fr_FR.utf8 I've been able to track down that with the AMI ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20190807(ami-0e253b69fb96577d1) the problem does not appear if you apt-get upgrade , it still does not appear, BUT if you dist-upgrade, it then upgrades linux-aws from 4.4.0-1088-aws to 4.4.0-1092-aws, and if you reboot, then the bugs appears too , which to me proves that there's an issue between docker and version of the linux kernel ** Affects: linux-aws (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1842364 Title: sudo localedef from docker does not work anymore after upgrade from 4.4.0-1088-aws to 4.4.0-1090-aws To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-aws/+bug/1842364/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
