Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.58
Severity: normal

Hello.

This bug shows up during the debconf questioning for the "locales"
package, when installing after purging, or when dpkg-reconfiguring
after installation.

It affects the "dialog" frontend, but neither "readline" nor
"editor".

In the first debconf menu "Select locales to be generated", select n
languages. Say:

[X] fr_FR ISO-8859-1
[X] fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8
[X] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15

Only the two last will be present in the second menu "Which locale
should be the default in the system environment?". And only those two
will actually be generated.

I had the same results for each checklist in "dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg".

But a hand-made command line with
"dialog --checklist text 10 35 5 a b on c d on e f on"
worked fine.

Bye.
