Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
The Update Manager uses the wrong language environment variable to set the language for package descriptions.
Use case:
Using the Language Support tool in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx I have set my interface language to "en_GB:en" and the number and currency formatting, and paper sizes to "nl_NL" (I live in the Netherlands).
This seems to set these two variables:
LANG=nl_NL.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
Update Manager itself uses English for its GUI, but the packages listed have Dutch descriptions when available.
