Package: python2.3 Version: 2.3.4-19 Severity: normal For some time now, d-i inserts a line in /etc/environment setting $LANGUAGE to something like "en_US:en_GB:en". With this setting, locale.getdefaultlocale() returns ('en_US', 'en_gb') -- the ":" is replaced by a ".", and the second part is (wrongly) interpreted as an encoding. I am not entirely sure what would be the correct way to fix it, but this bug makes locale.getdefaultlocale() unusable under virtually *all* sarge installs unless the setting of LANGUAGE is removed manually.
