Bug#960536: locales: $LANGUAGE and $LC_ALL are not set
Package: locales
Version: 2.28-10
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n
Hi,
I upgraded yesterday to Buster and in the process of upgrading packages I got
the following perl warning in several packages:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "es_ES.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
In some places I have found "a way to fix it", but this not works for me. I
followed the steps.
export LANGUAGE=es_ES.UTF-8
export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8
locale-gen
dpkg-reconfigure locales
selecting the generation of all locales and to use es_ES.UTF-8 in the debconf
window. But the problem persists.
Also I have tried to change to another locales, like
en_US.UTF-8
but LANGUAGE and LC_ALL keep unset. Coming back to my original locale does not
fix the problem.
I do not know whether this can be related with bugs:
#687522
#724456
I can make test, send log files,... to find what is causing this problem.
Thank you for your great work !!
Sincerely,
Jose
