Subject: locale-gen fails on ltsp-build-client

Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:10:56 +0200

Package: ltsp-build-client

When trying to build an i386 ltsp on an AMD64,
locale-gen seems to be missing from the ltsp build directory, the result
is an error:

	# time ltsp-build-client --arch i386 --dist etch \
	--mirror http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/

	I: Configuring tasksel...
	I: Base system installed successfully.
	chroot: cannot run command `locale-gen': No such file
	or directory
	error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally

what version of ltsp packages do you have installed:

  COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l 'ltsp*' | awk '/^ii/{print $2" "$3}'

this seems odd, as the code tests for the presence of locale-gen before running
it (since 2007-05-19, at least):

  if [ -f $ROOT/etc/locale.gen ] && [ -x $ROOT/usr/sbin/locale-gen ] ; then
      DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBIAN_PRIORITY=critical LC_ALL=C chroot $ROOT /usr/sbin/locale-gen
  fi

closing these bugs, as i was unable to reproduce the problem, and the submitter
hasn't responded in quite some time.

please feel free to re-open if you can reproduce the problem with current
versions.
