I mean that after I rebooted, the current locale was now C and I couldn't change for another one. Accents and others non-ASCII stuff got screwed up in many applications. The only action I took was rebooting some days after upgrading to 2.13-14 (I don't reboot very often), and that caused this “lost” locale. > > (fr_FR.UTF-8) and dpkg-reconfigure could not generate it back with this > > With locales-all, locales are not generated, that's actually the goal of > locales-all. Which command did you run? dpkg-reconfigure locales, choose fr_FR.UTF-8, select it as default for the system. I never meant to install locales-all at first, I don't know how it stepped in some months ago. The strange thing is that this problem only happened when upgrading locales-all to 2.13-14: it didn't cause any problem before. Anyway, with locales-all (2.13-14) installed, I _couldn't_ get any other locale than C to work. > > message: > > > > Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 > > It means that this locale was not installed on the system. Well, the purpose of dpkg-reconfigure locales is to generate the local so that it's “installed” on the system, isn't it? > > Still, I'm wondering why this package was installed, as I don't seem to need > > it.

After a bit of research: #623672 led to version 20110421~nmu1 as a “fix” which depends on locales-all. On my machine, ca-certificates-java was upgraded to version 20110426 the day after 20110421~nmu1 was installed. But locales-all resisted apt-get autoremove, I suppose. I don't why. Anyway, this seems to be a transitional problem only, maybe you can close it.
