Bug#317165: localechooser: behaves badly if user selected different default locale
Package: localechooser
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n d-i
I tried to install system in Ukrainian language but chose locale
uk_UA.UTF-8 to be default on new system. After reboot to second stage
console was setup to use UTF-8 as encoding (locale was uk_UA.UTF-8 as
expected). Then termwrap probably tried to start jfbterm and failed
(it was not present, termwrap only loaded framebuffer module). After that
base-config was run with no cyrillic letters at all.
