Bug#185269: locales: locales never works just after dpkg-reconfiguring (wish)
Package: locales
Version: 2.2.5-11.2
Severity: wishlist
I encounter probably a classical problem: after installing locales and
choose for ex. en_US iso8859-1 it would be nice if:
a) the /etc/locale.gen contains this param
b) the /etc/environment is generated (it does not until know anad as far as
I observed)
c) it would be nice if the environment is reloaded so that this new locales
will take effect without having to reboot the system.
Note: the same problem occurs while installing the Debian system from cd or
from net, locales are never configured after you configure them, and no
matter what you choosed (fr, nl, en).
