After running dpkg-reconfigure locales and choosing fr_FR@euro as default system environment locale, all locales remains set to "POSIX" :

And even after after rebooting the system, all the locales of all the users remains set to "POSIX".

Is any of the environment variables shown by locale above set when you
run it? Use the command "env" to see them. What does
your /etc/environment look like? Do any of your shell setup scripts (for
bash, /etc/bashrc, /etc/profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, maybe
others) set any of the environment variables?

Subject: default locale ignored, all locales are set to "POSIX"

Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 10:18:00 +1200

I'm also experiencing this with both of the IA32 systems I upgraded to
sid. A locales downgrade didn't appear to work so this must be due to
one or more of the many packages that I upgraded all at once.

I only noticed this after a reboot when the Evolution mail client
started sorting in a case-sensitive manner.

locale now returns:
$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

$ cat /etc/environment

LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8

A grep for LC and LANG from the return of /usr/bin/env returns nothing
set. Likewise for /etc/profile, ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile.

Regards,
Adam

   * Switch pam_userdb from db3 to db4.2, which according to the libdb
     maintainers should require no manual intervention for upgrading on-disk
     database formats.  Closes: #165068.
   * Patch 058:  yes, of course we want to read /etc/environment by

Subject: dpkg-reconfigure locales still doesn't work

Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 01:41:51 +0200

Hello,

I still have a problem with setting locales after todays upgrade of pam 
to ver 0.79-2.
After dpkg-reconfigure locales and choosing  pl_PL ISO-8859-2 I've got:
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
Generation complete.

Before dpkg-reconfigure locales I've got:
cat /etc/locale.gen
pl_PL ISO-8859-2
After it's changing to
cat /etc/locale.gen
#pl_PL ISO-8859-2

When I change it back to pl_PL ISO-8859-2 and run locale-gen everything 
works ok.
