Comment 26 for bug 156913

I read the previous comments from Bertilo and Joop, but none of this works for me.

When I do "sudo apt-get install language-pack-eo", it does not create
any Esperanto locale.

$ sudo apt-get install language-pack-eo
...
$ locale -a
C
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
en_IN
en_NZ.utf8
en_PH.utf8
en_SG.utf8
en_US.utf8
en_ZA.utf8
en_ZW.utf8
POSIX

No Esperanto locale, I'd expect to find eo_XX.utf8 there.

My file my "/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local" only
contains:

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

Reconfiguring my locale, does not rebuild Esperanto locale:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales...
  en_AU.UTF-8... done
  en_BW.UTF-8... done
  en_CA.UTF-8... done
  en_DK.UTF-8... done
  en_GB.UTF-8... done
  en_HK.UTF-8... done
  en_IE.UTF-8... done
  en_IN.UTF-8... done
  en_NZ.UTF-8... done
  en_PH.UTF-8... done
  en_SG.UTF-8... done
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  en_ZA.UTF-8... done
  en_ZW.UTF-8... done

When I installed Hardy (from scratch, not upgraded), I installed
it in English (then later tried to add the Esperanto locale)
Perhaps Bertilo and Joop installed it in Esperanto?

I also tried tweaking /usr/share/X11/locale/{compose,locale}.dir
as described by Joop but without any effect.

What is also odd is that it behaves differently for different
people. For example, I did not have that bug with Gutsy
but reading above comments, several people had this bug
with Gutsy. When I installed Gutsy, it was a dist-upgrade from
Feisty. Now with Hardy, I did an install from scratch and I do
get the bug.

A bit disheartening, knowing that when I reported this bug
initially in Ubuntu-5.04 (#23435) 3 years ago, it was
then fixed but then reappears.
