update-grub problem in Estonian locale

[Spott]

Binary package hint: grub

In systems, what running on Estonain locale - there is problem with update-grub.
This don't work, and so many users running still with old kernels. Output of this command:
suvi@masin64:/etc$ sudo update-grub
Password:
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
sed: -e avaldis #1, sümbol 186: Invalid range end
sed: -e avaldis #1, sümbol 45: Invalid range end
sed: -e avaldis #1, sümbol 186: Invalid range end
suvi@masin64:/etc$

Problem is in locales. I find that same problem was also in Debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=352670

I can also update my kernel list with command:
LANG=C sudo update-grub
But I need to start this manually after new Kernel is installed with updates.

This is fixed in Edgy, but we should probably backport the fix to Dapper.

Fixed in edgy, as previously noted; I created a new task for dapper.

Seems that something related to this is still remaining in 10.10 Maverick...

with locale as:
antonio@antonio-desktop:/boot$ locale
LANG=es_ES.utf8
LANGUAGE=es_ES:es:en
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.utf8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.utf8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.utf8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.utf8"
LC_ALL=

The result is:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic
sed: -e expresión #1, carácter 60: Final de rango inválido

and, well, some packages uninstalled.

I confirm that many dependency problems with texlive-latex-base and with the kernel 2.6.35 which drove me crazy with

sudo aptitude upgrade

disappeared with

sudo LANG=C aptitude upgrade

This should have been fixed by now, isn't it... well I guess we have a subtle regression.

[asala (asala)]

sorry it was:
 LANG=C sudo aptitude upgrade

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. The version of Ubuntu referenced in this issue has reached end of life, and the issue is fixed in newer versions of Ubuntu. Therefore, I am closing the Dapper task.
