Public bug reported:
On Lucid, after upgrading, I lost the French (fr_CA.UT8) locale I had
both on the desktop and on terminal. Here is what locale gives me:
LANG=fr_CA.utf8
LANGUAGE=fr_CA:fr:en_CA:en
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=C
On a fresh account, locale is all properly set to fr_CA.UTF-8, but as soon as I
start configuring the account, it just goes back to C giving me a warning about
not properly installed localization packages -- but I re-installed them all
(english+french) to make sure.
So my question is, how to properly set the locale to fr_CA.UTF-8 ? it
seems that some program is falling back to C locale for some reason, and
then overriding the whole language configuration for my account -- while
it shouldn't, because the locale works well on fresh accounts.
