--- Begin Message ---Package: locales Version: 2.38-10 Severity: normal Tags: newcomer, patch The perl script update-local internally invokes 'locale charmap' to perform additional checks. However if this call fails for some reason, update-locale always only prints "Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=...." which can be very misleading when the root-cause is actually different.
