The files under /etc/profile.d are sourced by /etc/profile, which sets system wide settings. For user-defined values, the place to override a system-wide setting depends on the shell you're using. E.g., for bash, it would be ~/.bash_profile. Check /etc/skel/.bash_profile. It should include these lines: # Set user-defined locale export LANG=$(locale -uU) Probably you have a customized ~/.bash_profile, so updating to base-files-4.0-9 didn't replace it. -- Huella de clave primaria: AD8F BDC0 5A2C FD5F A179 60E7 F79B AB04 5299 EC56
