[ Adding locales people to the loop ] Hi,

I did some test installations, and I can confirm there is an issue with this: After a fresh testing|trixie install from yesterday's daily netinst image, /etc/locale.conf and /etc/default/locale are effectively empty (they only contain a comment "File generated by update-locale", but not more) and the environment variable LANG is empty. If I execute "dpkg-reconfigure locales" then, I get the dialog to choose which locales to generate. The entry "de_DE.UTF8 UTF8" is already selected, which is correct from above installation. When I then proceed without any change (just select OK), I get the dialog to choose the system locale, with the option to choose one of "None" or "C.UTF-8" or "de_DE.UTF-8". I then choose "de_DE.UTF-8" and everything is fine after that: /etc/default/locale has "LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" /etc/locale.conf has the same content. So, it seems that the locales package remains unconfigured during installation, despite the installer log says: Setting up locales (2.40-2) ... Generating locales (this might take a while) ...

Is that correct? Was /etc/locale.conf introduced to supersede /etc/default/locale ? If that is the case: is it correct, that /etc/default/locale is still processed by update-locale (as indicated by the comment included in that file in latest test installation)? BTW, there is already another bugreport which seems to go down to the same issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1058884 Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwans...@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
