Bug#1060288: locales: Please allow selection of C.UTF-8 when (re)configuring locales
Package: locales
Version: 2.36-9+deb12u3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i l10n
Dear Maintainer,
It would be nice to have C.UTF-8 in the list which dpkg-reconfigure locales
shows; When installing a desktop I usually select the C locale since the
others don't really apply and I'm unable to use a different locale setting
for date and lang. This however breaks gnome since it requires a utf-8
locale and I'm unable to select C.UTF-8 at installation.
A workaround is to uncomment the C.UTF-8 locale in /etc/locale.gen
and run dpkg-reconfigure locales after installation.
Kind regards,
Axel Scheepers
