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.

Thanks,
Reinhard
