Bug#443065: locales: Prompts to replace locale.alias on upgrade
Package: locales
Version: 2.6.1-5
Severity: wishlist
When I upgrade locales I am being prompted to accept changes to
locale.alias, a file which I have never to my knowledge edited.
Reviewing the diff appears to support my recollection here. I'm
guessing that this is as a result of moving locales.alias into /etc
- it would be much nicer if this change were handled non-interactively.
