Bug#717792: debian-installer: locale warnings after clean installation in US English with Dutch timezone
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
I installed a clean Debian Wheezy 7.1 using the following options:
- US English language
- Europe/Ansterdam timezone
- US keymap
Pretty common in The Netherlands. With these options, the locales are not correctly generated.
Output of `locale`:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=nl_NL.utf8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Everything is set to en_US, except for LC_TIME which is nl_NL. Problem is that during installation
Debian doesn't actually generate the nl_NL locale. So, on every new machine I always get perl warnings
about missing locales. I always have to run `dpkg-reconfigure locales` and add nl_NL.UTF-8 myself.
IMHO the installer should add this locale during the installation process.
Kind regards,
Sander Marechal
