Package: locales
Version: 2.28-8
Severity: wishlist

You know, there is a slight gap in time when updating locales,
that all locales disappear.

This causes e.g., an at(1) job that happens to run during that time to
give e.g.,

> Subject: Output from your job      866

> sh: line 48: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (zh_TW.UTF-8): No such file or directory

mysterious messages (Bug #923504).

Certainly your package's update script is doing something like

rm all_the_old_files
install all_the_new_files

Perhaps, as these are all mission critical files,
maybe you could do something like

copy all_the_new_files one by one on top of all_the_old_files
remove any_remaining_old_files_that_need_to_be_removed

That way there won't be any more time gaps when things will fail! Thanks.

Dear reporter,

Thanks for taking the time long ago to submit your upgrade report. I'm
closing these reports now because the Debian releases they were reported
against have reached their end-of-life (some long ago).

Unfortunately it's possible that the report I'm now closing may still
have relevant information for the current release (bullseye). If you
believe that's the case, don't hesitate to reopen the bug, retitle it
and provide further information and it will be seen during the current
freeze period of Debian.

Paul
