Bug#1024033: debian-edu-config: broken thin client chroot installation in case type is (mini-)desktop and language is English



Package: debian-edu-config
Version: 2.11.56+deb11u4
Severity: normal

Dashamir Hoxha reported on debian-edu@lists.d.o some time ago:
> When I try to create the image for a mini-desktop thin client, with the command:

> debian-edu-ltsp-install --thin_type desktop

> I get this error message:
> "E: Unable to locate package firefox-esr-l10n-en"


The script tries to install firefox-esr-l10n-"$LANGCODE", with $LANGCODE grabbed
from the /etc/debian-edu/config file.

Since Firefox supports 'en' (and 'en-us') natively, the 
firefox-esr-l10n-en package doesn't exist.

The issue has been fixed in Git (master branch):
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-config/-/commit/6202ef11fe4159c521b9be1cc503552543cdfc91

Since the firefox-esr-l10n-en-gb package does exist, a simple workaround for
bullseye would be:

Set LANGCODE="en-gb" in /etc/debian-edu/config (temporarily).
Run 'debian-edu-ltsp-install --thin_type desktop'
