Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2-7
Severity: normal
i try to configure debian to UTF-8
so i run dpkg-reconfigure locales and select fr_FR.UTF-8@euro
but dpkg-reconfigure don't create new locales in
/usr/share/locale/fr_FR.UTF-8@euro
dpkg-reconfigure use local-gen script which use localedef command:
localedef -i $input -c -f $charset -A /etc/locale.alias $locale
this command don't work because using '-A /etc/locale.alias' option
why this option???, there is no -A option in 'man localdef' and the little
help in 'localedef --help' is not really clear.
so i don't know what action localdef is doing with this option
and why locales package do not update this file (and the
/usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias) by the default locale
selected.
in my /etc/locale.alias, there is:
french fr_FR.ISO-8859-1
and it's false
thanks
sylvain

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Err, if this locale was broken, you certainly would have changed these
settings ;)
I am closing this bug, locale seems to be generated. OTOH you will
have trouble with X applications, you might either choose fr_FR.UTF-8
or add the line below in your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
fr_FR.UTF-8@euro: fr_FR.UTF-8
This is a known bug in XFree86 (#185656).
