Package: locales
Version: 2.27-5
Severity: normal

When upgrading, I got the following:

[...]
Setting up locales (2.27-5) ...
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  aa_DJ.UTF-8... done
  aa_DJ.ISO-8859-1... done
  aa_ER.UTF-8... done
[...]
  zu_ZA.UTF-8... done
  zu_ZA.ISO-8859-1... done
Generation complete.
Setting up libbinutils:amd64 (2.31-1) ...
Setting up keyutils (1.5.9-9.3) ...
Setting up locales-all (2.27-5) ...
[...]

i.e. the locales are regenerated by locales.postinst, but then
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is removed by locales-all.postinst,
so that the regeneration of the locales takes time and is useless.

/var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.postinst contains:

    # Update requested locales if locales-all is not installed
    if dpkg-query -W -f='${db:Status-Abbrev}' locales-all 2>/dev/null | grep -q '^.i' ; then
        echo "locales-all installed, skipping locales generation"
    else
        locale-gen
    fi

I think that the '^.i' regexp is incorrect during an upgrade.

According to the dpkg-query(1) man page:

              Desired action:
                u = Unknown
                i = Install
                h = Hold
                r = Remove
                p = Purge

              Package status:
                n = Not-installed
                c = Config-files
                H = Half-installed
                U = Unpacked
                F = Half-configured
                W = Triggers-awaiting
                t = Triggers-pending
                i = Installed

              Error flags:
                <empty> = (none)
                R = Reinst-required

so that it is testing the package status of locales-all. But during
an upgrade, the actual status is "iU " (things may be different if
packages are upgraded separately).

Shouldn't the desired action be tested instead, i.e. '^i'?

Changes:
 glibc (2.28-2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Samuel Thibault ]
   * patches/hurd-i386/git-fcntl64.diff: Fix returning value returned by
     __f_setlk.
 .
   [ Aurelien Jarno ]
   * debian/control.in/libc: breaks r-cran-later (<< 0.7.5+dfsg-2), ie
     versions built with tinycthread.  Closes: #915339.
   * debian/patches/git-updates.diff: update from upstream stable branch.
   * debian/testsuite-xfail-debian.mk: allow tst-pkey to fail on ppc64el, ppc64
     powerpc and powerpcspe as the glibc implementation is still only partial.
     Closes: #914997.
   * debian/control.in/main: glibc-source: add breaks on cross-toolchain-base
     (<< 29~) and cross-toolchain-base-ports (<< 25~) as those packages are not
     compatible with glibc 2.28.  Closes: #915621.
   * debian/testsuite-xfail-debian.mk: whitelist misc/tst-preadvwritev2 and
     misc/tst-preadvwritev64v2 on x32. The failing part of those tests is new,
     and the it looks like a kernel bug in the compat layer.
   * debian/testsuite-xfail-debian.mk: whitelist elf/tst-execstack-needed on
     riscv64, it is similar to the already whitelisted test
     elf/test-xfail-tst-execstack.
   * debian/debhelper.in/locales.postinst: fix regexp checking for installed
     locales package.  Closes: #903964.
