Public bug reported:
The modification done by 0010-set-language.patch (see LP: #866062) cause
UTF-8 to be forced in ~/.pam_environment even if something else has been
defined in /etc/default/locale.
Example:
/etc/default/locale contains:
LANG="en_US"
After login from lightdm ~/.pam_environment contains:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
and that result in UTF-8 being forced to use for example in terminals.
This problem can be traced to 0010-set-language.patch that introduces
the function "user_locale_utf8_fix" that for some reason gets called
every time variables are handled. As a result, it's not possible to have
UTF-8 disabled.
As a very crude hack, I've modified the /usr/share/language-tools/save-
to-pam-env script to call sed and remove any UTF-8 string before the
exit line.
