Bug#250277: Problem with selecting locale during installation

[Guido Trotter <ultrotter@debian.org>]

Package: install
Severity: important

Hi,

this morning I installed two sarge machines with the beta4 cd, and for
two times I was hit by problems while selecting the locale (initial part
of the installation).

Since I want my systems to speak english I choose English (other country)
and then told it I was in Italy... What it happened later was that
locale failed to configure because it was searching a non-existant "en"
locale, and that /etc/environment was left empty... :/

I don't know if this has been already reported or what's the component
of d-i responsible for this, so I'm reporting it here. Sorry for
eventual duplicate reports, unfortunately I haven't had time to
familiarize with d-i internals yet... :(

Thanks for your work, for any other thing the installations went charmly.

Guido
