[Bug 504945] Re: Dictd warns about unspecified locale

[PeterPall]

In the current version of raring the problem is still there and now
results in a warning that dictd might stop working "after installing
this package" which it doesn't seem to do, though.

Title:
  Dictd warns about unspecified locale

Status in “dictd” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dictd

  Hello, there!

  When dictd is installed - or reconfigured using "dpkg-reconfigure
  -plow dictd" the following line of /etc/default/dictd is commented out
  during configuration of the package:

  #DICTD_ARGS="$DICTD_ARGS --locale=en_US.utf-8"

  The locale in the commented-out line is automatically adapted to the current locale of the system.
   
  The following line is uncommented instead:
  DICTD_ARGS=""

  Even if dictd still seems to support Umlaute on my system when the
  locale setting is commented out any dictionary for dictd I install
  produces the following warning:

     The parameter --locale=xx_YY.utf-8 was not set in your /etc/default/dictd,
     so after installing this package dictd may stop working.

  Since Ubuntu has switched to UTF-8 long ago it would be rather simple
  to get rid of this warning by uncommenting the other line instead.
