Re: locale errors

[Chris Hiestand]

I wrote this quick perl script to fix this problem across multiple systems (it sets the locale to en_US.UTF-8, so you may need to modify this if you need to):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#set-debian-locales-utf8.pl

sub exec_ok($$);

use strict;
use warnings;




        exec_ok($?, 'debconf-set-selections');

        exec_ok($?, 'debconf-set-selections');
        
        if (-e '/etc/locale.gen')       {
                unlink('/etc/locale.gen');
        }
        
        system("dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive locales");
        exec_ok($?, 'dpkg-reconfigure');
}

sub exec_ok($$) {
        my $exitCode = shift;
        my $program = shift;
  if ( $exitCode != 0 ) {
      die("$program exited with error code: $exitCode\n");
  }
}

if (! ( `debconf-show locales` =~ m/locales\/ default_environment_locale: en_US.UTF-8/ ) ) { system("echo \"locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8, en_US ISO-8859-1\" | debconf-set-selections"); system("echo \"locales locales/default_environment_locale select en_US.UTF-8\" | debconf-set-selections");
