[Bug 1679552] Re: locales 2.23-0ubuntu7 breaks locale settings

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

My test doesn't indicate any problem with the German latin1 locale in
itself.

$ dpkg-query -W locales
locales	2.23-0ubuntu7
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.ISO-8859-1
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

I think you need to provide some more details, such as:

* What does the locale command output with 2.23-0ubuntu7?

* Was the de_DE locale successfully generated when you upgraded to
locales 2.23-0ubuntu7? Did you try to regenerate it?

** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  locales 2.23-0ubuntu7 breaks locale settings

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading to locales 2.23-0ubuntu7 on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS running
  with de_DE.ISO-8859-1, I got several error messages about the locale
  configuration, e.g.;

  /etc/cron.daily/man-db:
  /usr/bin/mandb: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct

  PostgreSQL did not start with the log file saying:

  FATAL:  invalid value for parameter "lc_messages": "de_DE.ISO-8859-1"

  Running "dpkg-reconfigure locales" did not solve the problem. Only
  after downgrading to locales 2.23-0ubuntu3, another reconfigure fixed
  the issue.
