Package: upgrade-reports Severity: important As you can see, I'm using German locale. While testing a lenny→squeeze dist upgrade, I get a lot of those warnings:
Processing triggers for man-db ... perl: warning: Setting locale failed perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "de_DE.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C") /usr/bin/man-db: can't set the locale: make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct. manconv: can't set the locale: make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct. For every package installing a man page, I get the perl and man-db warning, and the manconv warning is, as it seems, printed for *every* man page. The man-db trigger is not the only occasion where perl is run but by far the origin for most of those warnings. This clutters the upgrade process with a *lot* of useless noise making it hard to spot really important messages. Imho this really should be fixed before release and would consider it RC. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
