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

It had already been reported and should be fixed in the daily builds.
See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=244475
and: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=248951
Note: don't try the dailies today, they are currently broken but should be
fixed tomorrow.

dpkg-reconfigure worked for me; there were some messages, but nothing that
stopped it from working. The "faulty" locale 'en' is included in the list.
Just deselect that and select the ones you want, then the locales should be
created correctly.
I am closing this bugreport as the problem has already been solved.
Cheers,
FJP
