Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.44.3-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
I've just stumbled on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=897593 (which is still happening in italian, related bug is coming). I've noticed that other programs (e.g. apt) also accept the english defaults 'y' and 'n' when asking yes/no questions even in other locales; this would help prevent similar errors in the future (and also helps the muscle memory of people who deal with systems in different languages :) ) I don't know how apt and other programs deal with languages where the local word for 'yes' starts with n or viceversa. Could this be done? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.17.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IE:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages e2fsprogs depends on: ii libblkid1 2.32.1-0.1 ii libc6 2.27-5 ii libcom-err2 1.44.3-1 ii libext2fs2 1.44.3-1 ii libss2 1.44.3-1 ii libuuid1 2.32.1-0.1 Versions of packages e2fsprogs recommends: ii e2fsprogs-l10n 1.44.3-1 Versions of packages e2fsprogs suggests: pn e2fsck-static <none> pn fuse2fs <none> pn gpart <none> ii parted 3.2-21+b1 -- no debconf information
