Package: locales
Version: 2.7-18
Severity: normal
Hi,
running
# dpkg-reconfigure locales
gives me a menu to select installable locales from, and a second menu to
select default locale. To work around a certain problem, I ran this
command and selected "All" locales to be generated, and "None" as the
default locale, because I was unable finding a locale named "C" in the
list. Since this didn't solve my problem, I tried to undo the change and
ran the command again, to reset my default locale to "en_US.UTF-8". This
results in this output:
# /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure locales
locales-all installed, skipping locales generation
*** update-locale: Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Please see #565984 for a related problem.
Not specifying a higher severity because the idea should occur to only
very few people in the first place, and because these problems are very
tightly related, but feel free to up the severity if you disagree.
Kind regards,
--Toni++

My bad, sorry. I've now taken precautionary measures to prevent such
bogus problems from re-occurring too often...
