Bug#202374: localedef segfaults when generating locales second time
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.1-17
Severity: grave
Hello,
when I try to generate locales on my system, localedef crashes.
Generating locales...
de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro...i18n:1: syntax error: not inside a locale definition section

/usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 24: 28684 Segmentation fault localedef -i $input -c -f $charset $locale -A /etc/locale.alias
This does not happen when locales are installed the first time after
installation, they are created but only once. When I reexecute
locale-gen manually or via dpkg-reconfigure locales, localedef
segfaults.
If you cannot reproduce this, let me know and I will try to find time
for a debugging session.
MfG,
Eduard.
