Bug Description
If I attempt to do an apt-get dist-upgrade from dapper to edgy, most packages emit this error when configured:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_GB:
LC_ALL = "en_GB.UTF-8",
LC_PAPER = "en_US.UTF-8",
LC_ADDRESS = "en_US.UTF-8",
LC_MONETARY = "en_US.UTF-8",
LANG = "en_GB.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
Now if this truly isn't setting the locale anymore, isn't this going to piss off a bunch of non-USians who don't speak en_US?
Also, this problem seems to happen in Debian Etch and Debian Sid, so you probably inherited the issue.
I've just tried doing a dist-upgrade from a LiveCD, and this issue doesn't exist. Therefore, the problem must obviously have something to do with an old version of locales or some other weird configuration that was default in Dapper but doesn't work in Edgy.
