Bug#206784: locales: locale-gen doesn't actually seem to generate locales?
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2-3
Severity: normal
I'm a bit puzzled. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong as this is the first time
I'm doing this. But I'm following the documentation and, well, it's not doing
what it says it's supposed to do.
bash-2.05b# grep '^[^#]' /etc/locale.gen
en_CA ISO-8859-1
en_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB ISO-8859-1
en_US ISO-8859-1
es_ES ISO-8859-1
es_MX ISO-8859-1
es_US ISO-8859-1
fr_CA ISO-8859-1
fr_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_FR ISO-8859-1
fr_FR.UTF-8@euro UTF-8
bash-2.05b# locale -a
C
POSIX
en_CA
en_CA.iso88591
I have run locale-gen repeatedly. The output is a bit cryptic but mostly seems
to be complaining about the one locale that's actually working:
bash-2.05b# locale-gen
