Package: base
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i l10n
Justification: renders package unusable


When the user selects only Korean language from installer and install only standard system
the console can't display Korean messages at all. 

This is very serious problem for Korean users.

The installer must provide console environment that display Korean properly if system 
locale is Korean and it's the only language set by the user. 

To fix the problem, user needs to add English locale as super user.

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Add en_US.utf-8

Then change English as system locale or set export LANG=en_US.utf-8.

The window messages are unreadable - full of tiny retangles.
Without the knowlede or access to other system, users will unlikely give up or reinstall 
the system.

It makes Debian as useless system. When I used to use IBM XT years ago, MS-DOS provides
console that handles Korean using bitmap fonts.

Hi,

thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much 
appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old and/or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - and that's often better, as the bug 
log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
