Bug#330500: default locale ignored, all locales are set to "POSIX"

[Florent Bayle <fbayle@bigfoot.com>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.3.5-6
Severity: important

After running dpkg-reconfigure locales and choosing fr_FR@euro as default system environment locale, all locales remains set to "POSIX" :

jupiter:/home/florent# sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  fr_FR.ISO-8859-15@euro... done
  Generation complete.
jupiter:/home/florent# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
jupiter:/home/florent#

And even after after rebooting the system, all the locales of all the users remains set to "POSIX".
