Severity: important
Hi,
due to a bug in ext4 my archive for locales
(/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive) became corrupted. This caused a segfault
in all programs they tried to do something with locales.
That's the top of the backtrace of a crashed program
(gdb) bt full

Unfortunately, I've didn't saved the locale archive before rebuilding it.
I hope you get enough informations from the backtrace to find the bug.
If the archive becomes corrupted, the whole system is unusable, I can't
login nor do many services not start.
Bye, Jörg
