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).

Ah, sorry, but your report had the information merely.

That's good.
Hmm, it seems you had a problem; I know it for the first time. It
seems your problem is not "wishlist", but "normal" bug. If you
installed the woody's glibc, I guess you hit the old locales bug.
It's already fixed in the sid/sarge latest locales package.

No, I have no intension to annoy you. If you feel so, I apologize to
you. At least from your report, I did not get any information about
your wish or problem - you should take a valid information to us.
Now your problem is gone away, I close this bug.
