Bug#697765: related bug 592216 is still valid at wheezy
Hello, Aurelien
Maybe, because, using puppet, I was trying to reconfigure a pre-existent Debian
7.4 VM template, that had an /etc/default/locale already configured.
And only using noninteractive frontend for debconf.
I followed the instructions of
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs03.html.en
and edited the resulting file to only include the locale settings.
If one executes debconf with other frontends, it honors the user choices.
The VM template was a basic install, with custom partitioning.
Removing /etc/default/locale caused the debconf noninteractive to work as
expected. Is this behaviour a design choice? Maybe an alert and or
documentation.
I will try again with a completely local fresh vm install (the other is a
corporative one...) to record my exact steps.
Regards.
Andre Felipe
