Bug#292866: locales listing incorrect when installing Sarge
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-20
When installing Sarge using debian-installer RC2 and with default
locale set to none, the dialog "Configuring locales" prompting for
which locales to generate lists as the first item "Usage:
/usr/sbin/validlocale <locale>" and is selected by default. Attempting
to continue installation with this item selected succeeds until the
system reboots and packages begin to be installed, at which point the
post-installation script for locale fails (presumably because it tried
to auto-generate the locale "Usage...").
Dropping into a shell, running dpkg-reconfigure --force locale and
deselecting the "Usage..." selection allows locale to install cleanly.
