Bug#557576: Postinstallation of 'locales' fails because of missing locale-gen

[Andy Smith <andy.smith@netprojects.org.uk>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.10.1-7
Severity: important

Whilst upgrading from lenny to squeeze, I cam across the following error during postinst of 'locales':-

Setting up locales (2.10.1-7) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.postinst: line 64: locale-gen: command not found
dpkg: error processing locales (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

p.d.o says locale-gen should be in locales, but a 'dpkg -L locales' doesn't show a locale-gen.

Apologies if this has been submitted already, but I did search and couldn't find an existing
bug.

Cheers,

Andy.
