Bug#221740: /usr/sbin/locale-gen: Post install script fails
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Severity: important
File: /usr/sbin/locale-gen
During a recent apt-get dist-upgrade, I noted a post-install error when
upgrading the locales package. The following results were obtained:
Setting up locales (2.3.2.ds1-10) ...
Generating locales...
en_US.ISO-8859-1.../usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 32: 3771 Killed localedef -i $input -c -f $charset -A /etc/locale.alias $locale
dpkg: error processing locales (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 137
Errors were encountered while processing:
locales
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It does not appear (from my cursory investigation) that the post install
script itself is the problem, rather, it seems to be an issue with the
/usr/sbin/locale-gen script, as the same error results from running that
manually.
