Wrong /etc/locale.gen after Ascii net-install with additional locale

joril · 2018-06-13 10:09:47

Hi everyone,

I've just installed a new Ascii server using the net-install ISO. During installation I selected an additional locale (it_IT.utf8) and even though locale used it correctly, /etc/locale.gen had it STILL commented out, so locale-gen wouldn't generate it and locale -a wouldn't list it.
Fixing this is easy once you know how, but what's the recommended way to report this problem?

Thanks! I've used reportbug in the past, but I'm not sure which package I should file a bug against, this time...?

Package locales seems to be the owner of /etc/locale.gen (or at least the man page).

Indeed, but it looks like this is an installation issue, not a problem with locales per se... Well I'll file the bug against locales anyway, thanks

It seems like there's an issue with reportbug at the moment https://bugs.devuan.org/db/21/217.html
I'll send a mail manually
