Bug#567451: lintian: could be left without a functional locale in some cases

[Raphael Geissert <geissert@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.2
Severity: minor

The other day while fixing a bug that made lintian fail to install together 
with locales-all (but no 'locales' package,) I only workarounded the bug.

Doing the following should demonstrate a case where lintian is left without a 
locale:

apt-get --purge remove locales locales-all
apt-get install locales-all
apt-get install lintian
apt-get install locales
apt-get remove locales-all

I don't know how we should fix this problem. The easiest way is by adding a 
trigger so that whenever the locales package is installed, upgraded or removed 
the same thing is done to our local locale.

What do the others think about it?

Cheers,
