Bug#260887: Untranslated country names and hang in apt-config and korean locale.



severity 260887 normal
thanks

I have set this as important because I thought apt-setup hanged by this
bug.
Now I know it didn't...

Indeed..  :(


Hmm I think changing "Korea, Republic of" to "South Korea" or 
"Korea (South)" would be fine (Same for North Korea).  Anyway most
ordinary people can't know these official Korean names, ROK/DPRK.  ;)   
"South Korea" to South Korean, or "North Korea" to North Korean people 
may sound offensive...  But I can "translate" these to non-offensive
ones 
for Korean language users.

If we change these two Korean country names, we have no comma-contained 
country names at least in the current list.
