[Bug 1908928] Re: locales 2.27-3ubuntu1.4 enabled random locales

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

The entries in comment #7, from some attempt to upgrade glibc, might be
the result of your disabling of write access to some files (something
you should obviously not do).

The only packages I'm aware of, which cause additional locales to be
generated during install, are Ubuntu's language packs. What's the output
for you of this command:

dpkg -l | grep -E 'language-pack-\w+-base'
