Package: locales Version: 2.11.1-3 Severity: normal
A recent large `apt-get dist-upgrade` included update of locales to this version. It seems like configuration of locales should occur first before configuring other packages. During the upgrade, I got a lot of stuff like the following. I also could not use `reportbug` until configuration was finished because new terminals had unacceptable 'C' locale with LANG us-ascii or something like that.
