I prefer the canonical names myself (i.e. en_IN rather than en_IN.UTF-8), but either should be OK. Parsing /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED is *easier* than parsing the output of 'locale -a', and I think it's safer than trying to draw inferences from details of the latter's output. -- You received this

Colin's right, of course -- my main issue with this isn't software running locally, but remote systems.

I still believe that the best option is to use UTF-8 as the primary user-visible name in environment variables and such (since it's what's in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED), even though it's an alias, but to fix the small handful of things that have trouble when you use one of the other valid spellings

Yes, changing is risky. An alternative option is "fix" this in langpack- locale, and try to make everywhere in the system to use "utf8" if any problems occur.
