Package: locales

today I installed lenny (5.0.2 base-system only) and afterwards
performed an apt-get dist-upgrade to squeeze. While upgrading, endless
warning messages were printed to the screen:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or
directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

I had cancel the upgrade to examine these warning messages. All were the
same (see above). At this time the environment variables LANGUAGE and
LC_ALL were in fact unset. And LANG had a value of en_US.UTF-8 (see
above).

After remove/install locales, editing /etc/defaults/locals, running
dpkg-reconfigure locales, logout/login, my environment looked like this:

LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL (unset)
LANG (unset)

I continued the dist-upgrade, but now without any warnings. Thus it
seems to me, that in lenny it is assumed that at least LANG is set, but
squeeze assumes LANGUAGE to be set. If this is true, it would be nice to
see the upgrade process handling it somewhat better.

Dear reporter,

Thanks for taking the time long ago to submit your upgrade report. I'm
closing these reports now because the Debian releases they were reported
against have reached their end-of-life (some long ago).

Unfortunately it's possible that the report I'm now closing may still
have relevant information for the current release (bullseye). If you
believe that's the case, don't hesitate to reopen the bug, retitle it
and provide further information and it will be seen during the current
freeze period of Debian.

Paul
