Hello,
I don't know exactly since when (I upgrade my Debian unstable every
morning and anyway since no more than a week), but now the LANG
variable is no more set (and so the locales):
=====
luca@gismo:~$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
luca@gismo:~$
=====
I tried to change it with `dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales` (even if my
priority is already low), but while the LANG is changed in the
/etc/environment file, `locale` never shows it (and I always have
POSIX...).
`export LANG=en_US.UTF-8` works, but AFAIK this shouldn't be done if
LANG is set in /etc/environment.
Am I missing some new changes? Other than the daily upgrades, I
haven't changed my locales since a while.
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
