Package: locales Version: 2.2.5-14 At the moment it is impossible to preconfigure fthe locales package for the first time install.
I would like to supply a debconf value in the locales/locales_to_be_generated variable, and get the locales package to create /etc/locale.gen based on the content of this debconf answer. This fail, because locales.config will reset the value to '' before asking debconf for the answer. The following patch fixes the situation for the first time install, while still using the content of /etc/locale.gen if it exists. Please fix this in Woody too. The Skolelinux distribution needs it. --- locales.config.orig Fri Nov 8 20:25:40 2002 +++ locales.config Fri Nov 8 20:26:09 2002 @@ -175,6 +175,7 @@ if test -f /etc/locale.gen; then LG=/etc/locale.gen SELECTED_LOCALES=$(egrep -v "^#|^$" $LG | tr "\n" "," | sed -e "s/,/, /g" -e "s/, *$//") + db_set locales/locales_to_be_generated "${SELECTED_LOCALES}" else LG=/dev/null fi @@ -184,7 +185,6 @@ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule db_version 2.0 -db_set locales/locales_to_be_generated "${SELECTED_LOCALES}" db_subst locales/locales_to_be_generated locales "${SUPPORTED_LOCALES}" db_capb multiselect db_input medium locales/locales_to_be_generated || true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
