There is no reason. It looks like it is set by some default bash init scripts. bash$ grep LC_ALL ~/.bash* bash$ env |grep LC_ALL LC_ALL= bash$ I set other locale variables in my bash init scripts: bash$ grep LC_ ~/.bash* /home/sasha/.bash_profile.global:export LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 /home/sasha/.bash_profile.global:export LC_COLLATE=ru_RU.UTF-8 But I do not touch LC_ALL. I guess only Debian bash and/or locales maintainers know why LC_ALL is set and empty by default. bash$ debconf-show locales debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied * locales/default_environment_locale: None * locales/locales_to_be_generated: en_GB ISO-8859-1, en_GB.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15, en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8, en_US ISO-8859-1, en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15, en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8, ru_RU.CP1251 CP1251, ru_RU.KOI8-R KOI8-R, ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8, ru_UA.UTF-8 UTF-8 > > Best regards, > > Ferdinand > > On Thursday 14 of April 2011 16:41:32 Alexandra N.
