Bug#361063: locales: update-locale says LANGUAGE is not compatible with LANG at upgrade time.
Hi
I got the same error message with 2.3.6-5 when i did a dist-upgrade,
however it couldn't be resolved with a simple update/upgrade.
# apt-get dist-upgrade

locales
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This error message returns everytime I try to install 2.3.6-5. I
downloaded locales_2.3.6-3_all.deb and installed it manually after forcing
an uninstallation of 2.3.6-5 and it went without a hitch. Tried 2.3.6-5
again, both manually, through apt-get, tried two different servers and the
same error message popped up every time. Tried to change all
locale-settings from "sv_SE" and such to "C" via the "locale"-command, but
even then I got the same error message concerning "sv_SE:sv:en_GB:en".
