[Bug 1759442] [NEW] LANG=C.UTF-8 in squashfs prevents configuration of locale

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Public bug reported:

The code in 05localechooser assumes that if grep -q ^LANG=
/target/etc/default/locale succeeds it's managed to configure the
locale. But that file defaults to LANG=C.UTF-8 now and so localechooser
never sets the locale.
