I have not replied to this but it did not please me at all. dpkg is not the proper place for such hacks. > Alternatively, I suppose I could patch perl to also quelch the warnings > when DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION is set (or should it rather be one of the > DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_* variables ?). DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION is best, it will only be set by dpkg, the others might be set by dpkg-reconfigure too when it calls the postinst manually and dpkg-reconfigure is called outside of upgrades obviously and you might want to see the warning. > This seems somewhat cleaner to me, but opinions would be welcome. +1 > FWIW, I see mandb outputs similar warnings so the issue isn't limited > to just perl. The release notes might document to upgrade locales at the start of the upgrade anyway.
