Bug#172439: is not a bug, is a feature

["Nagy Peter.1" <peter.1.nagy@nokia.com>]

if /etc/locale.gen doesn't contain the string "XXX GENERATED XXX", it
will ignore whatever is set at config time, and won't change
/etc/locale.gen. Yours is from some old system that did it a different
way, and thus doesn't contain this string. So much for clean upgrades.

solution: delete /etc/locale.gen, and _then_ do dpkg-reconfigure

tegla

PS: wouldn't it be better if config simply overwrote /etc/locale.gen
no-matter-what?

PS2: what will the bugtracking spamfilter say to the "XXX GENERATED XXX"
string in this letter? :-)
