Shouldn't the system take care of it when I do a dpkg-reconfigure locales?


$ cat /etc/default/locale
#  File generated by update-locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de_DE:de:en_GB:en
$ cat /etc/environment
#LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en"

#LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

I'm sure I've heard that there is some transition going on to move the
content of /etc/environment to /etc/default/locale, right? If I
uncomment out the lines in /etc/environment everything works as expected
again.

So should I file a bug against KDE(M) for not respecting
/etc/default/locale?
