Bug#330500: all locales are set to "POSIX"

[Bruno Magagnini <b.magagnini@free.fr>]

Hello,

I have the same problem after apt-get dist-upgrade tonight.

My computer running Sid.

nob@nob:~$ cat /proc/version

Linux version 2.6.12-1-k7 (horms@tabatha.lab.ultramonkey.org) (gcc
version 4.0.2 20050917 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.1-8))

ii  libc6                         2.3.5-6
ii  debconf                       1.4.58
ii  locales                       2.3.5-6

nob@nob:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
