Bug#992500: locales: obsolete /etc/locale.alias settings after drop of non-UTF8 locales
Package: locales
Version: 2.31-16
Severity: normal
The /etc/locale.alias contains aliases to dropped locales, such as
french fr_FR.ISO-8859-1
Such lines should be removed, or maybe better, replaced to use
the UTF-8 locales (such as fr_FR.utf8).
