Bug#286281: locales are not generated

[jaroug <jaroug@free.fr>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-19
Severity: minor

I just finished to install Debian. I try to install some things and many
of this message :

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "fr_FR",
	LC_ALL = "fr_FR",
	LC_MESSAGE = "fr_FR",
	LANG = "fr_FR@euro"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory 
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

I try to see :

% grep ^fr /etc/locale.gen 
fr_FR@euro ISO-8859-15

% cat /etc/environment 
LANGUAGE="fr_FR:fr:en_GB:en"

LANG=fr_FR@euro

I try locale :

% locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=fr_FR@euro
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR"
LC_TIME="fr_FR"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR"
LC_NAME="fr_FR"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR"
LC_ALL=fr_FR

Finally I try to reconfigure locales :

# dpkg-reconfigure locales
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "fr_FR",
	LC_ALL = "fr_FR",

   are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

I retry locale :
% locale
LANG=fr_FR@euro
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR"
LC_TIME="fr_FR"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR"
LC_NAME="fr_FR"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR"
LC_ALL=fr_FR

Now it seems good.
