I see that #133578 has been closed now. Does this mean that the requirement for #214898 has gone away, and this bug can also be closed? p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

tag - 133578 patch thanks Just to make it clear to everyone involved -- #133578 is waiting for #214898 to be fixed in glibc. I'm not going to parse/use a tool to read the PAM configuration file /etc/environment. That config file is for setting up the _login_ environment, not the system boot environment. I think this should be a generic environment file, so that things such as the default init script/boot time PATH can be set in one place as well. (PATH, for example, is set in 50 different /etc/init.d scripts of 85 on my system.) Once this is done, init scripts can then use it and start making full use of gettext for strings they display, localizing the entire boot process. -- Ryan Murray, Debian Developer ([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) The opinions expressed here are my own. pgpSfYOZFQeg3.pgp Description: PGP signature

It's a little late in the release process to be completely changing how we handle setting the default LANG variable (or PATH, etc...). Setting it in two places is the wrong answer (since it's guaranteed to cause confusion), and any other change is too invasive. It's too bad the real losers here are non-English speakers. Tks, Jeff Bailey -- Ignorance was bliss.
