** Description changed:
Binary package hint: locales
I've been running Feisty for a while and decided to upgrade to Hardy. I
used the Update Manager to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy without problems
last night. Tonight I decided to take the next step from Gutsy to
Hardy. I again used the Update Manager GUI. But this time things
didn't go so well.
During the step "Setting up locales (2.7.9-4) ..." I get the following
message:
Generating locales...
en_AU.UTF-8...
And then the installer hangs forever with localedef eating 100% CPU.
I'm not the only one. Here are the relevant threads on the forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=861384
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=861194
Interestingly enough, both threads were started *tonight* and there are
no relevant earlier threads matching "localedef", which makes me suspect
this was due to a very recent change.
As a workaround, "sudo killall locale-gen" allows the installation to
continue, though several packages fail to install due to dependency
errors.
+
+ I also submitted an automated bug report after the failed upgrade (bug
+ 249346).
