[Bug 1556399] Re: LANG=C; ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported fails from non-English language

[sudodus]

This is strange:

This bug affects systems originally booted in English, where Swedish was
installed/set via the Lubuntu menu 'Preferences - Language Support'.
This is the (only) way to do it when booting from grub, and a possible
way to do it when booting from syslinux.

I put Swedish at the top of the list (of installed languages), applied
system-wide, logged out and logged in again as the user lubuntu.

-o-

But when I set the Swedish language via the first menu of syslinux boot,
it works to get English output via

LANG=C; ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported and the button
'Install/Remove Languages...'

Maybe it is not a bug of 'update-manager' but a bug of the Lubuntu
package for language support.

Title:
  LANG=C; ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported fails from non-
  English language

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug report corresponds to #1556386, but is created in a clean
  live system, which must not be 'private', and which is not affected by
  several other installed packages and tweaks.

  The live system is using Swedish. I try to get the output in English,
  so I used LANG=C.
