[Bug 234253] [NEW] kdm init script dies after editing system locale

[Martin von Gagern]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdm

My /etc/default/locale reads like this:

#LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LANG="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"

With this setup, the kdm init script /etc/init.d/kdm from kdm
4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.2 fails due to a malformed sed expression in this line:

$USESYSTEMLOCALE && sed -i "s|^#\?Language=.*|Language=`grep -re "LANG="
/etc/default/locale | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "[\\"|.]" } { print $2 }'`|"
$KDMCFG

One possible solution is to grep for ^LANG instead of only LANG. Another
would be to source /etc/default/locale and print $LANG afterwards.
