Hi,

After installing via the daily images, my locale isn't set. I took a brief look, and my best guess is the trouble is being caused in the file post-base-installer.d/05localechooser. There, I noticed

"DESTFILE="/target/etc/default/locale"".

I believe this file was retired recently in Debian.

I tried a reinstall, changing the above line to

"DESTFILE="/target/etc/locale.conf""

in the installer after I booted the daily netinst, and my locale was set in the installed system
