Bug#515099: locales: missing file /etc/default/locale

[Uwe Storbeck <uwe@ibr.ch>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.7-18
Severity: normal

Hi

When you select 'None' as the default locale for the system environment
the file /etc/default/locale will not be created (at least I don't have
it after an upgrade from etch to lenny, not sure about a fresh install).
But other packages expect the file to be there (like su or sshd using pam)
and generate warnings.
So /etc/default/locale should always be created (probably as an empty file)
even when the default locale is set to 'None'.

Regards

Uwe
