Martin, this issue has been up many times during at least the last 3-4 years in forums, lists and various bug trackers. The system is fundamentally broken IMO, and this is for some reason the suggested way to go about fixing it.
The *correct* way to fix it would be to: 1. don't decide weekday based on *language* choice of the installing user, because that has nothing to do with it 2. set the *default* based on location, which has everything to do with it 3. let users change the default in case it is guessed wrong (this would be enough as a workaround) However, for this to happen, we first need a sudden outbreak of common sense in this issue. So, to not have a system that is broken, we need a stupid workaround - I admit it's patently stupid, but what are we supposed to do when there is no way to reason the above 3 points? It's simply a broken system, but people seem to want it that way, for no reason ever actually stated. -- en_SE locale needed to get correct weekdays in Sweden https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
