debconf problem



Hi

I am trying to use debconf to setup some other packages from within a meta 
package.


I have grabbed the desired debconf setting with 

debconf-get-selections | grep -i locale

I get back 

locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect     en_AU ISO-8859-1, 
en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8, en_GB ISO-8859-1, en_GB.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15, en_GB.UTF-8 
UTF-8, en_US ISO-8859-1, en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15, en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8


on the destination machine i tried

echo "locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect     en_AU ISO-8859-1, 
en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8, en_GB ISO-8859-1, en_GB.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15, en_GB.UTF-8 
UTF-8, en_US ISO-8859-1, en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15, en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" | 
debconf-set-selection

but I get an error

warning: Unknown type en_AU.UTF-8, skipping line 1

no win the man page for debconf-set-selection it reacons this will work
debconf-get-selections | ssh newhost debconf-set-selections

I guess I doing the above but just for locales
