Bug Description
Ubuntu version: 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial).
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
On my system, I need a couple of locales that are not installed by default: fa_IR, fr_FR.ISO-8859-1, fr_FR.UTF-8, ja_JP.EUC-JP, tr_TR.UTF-8, zh_CN.GB18030. I generated them many months ago, using these commands:
sudo localedef -i fa_IR -f UTF-8 fa_IR
sudo localedef -i fr_FR -f ISO-8859-1 fr_FR.ISO-8859-1
sudo localedef -i fr_FR -f UTF-8 fr_FR.UTF-8
sudo localedef -i ja_JP -f EUC-JP ja_JP.EUC-JP
sudo localedef -i tr_TR -f UTF-8 tr_TR.UTF-8
sudo localedef -i zh_CN -f GB18030 zh_CN.GB18030
Today, I found that these locales are missing.
$ ls -l /usr/lib/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4570528 Jul 7 06:57 /usr/lib/
The file /usr/lib/
The file /var/log/

As you can see, the 'locales' packages was upgraded.
Apparently it has replaced the /usr/lib/
It would be better if the 'locales' package, during an upgrade, would
1. take the list of installed locales (command 'locale -a'),
2. after deleting the /usr/lib/
