Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4
Severity: normal
Hi. Wow, that bug list rivals Firefox's. :-P My sympathies ...
I've already been through this once before. That time, I changed the
locale settings, perl bitched, and the maintainer walked me through
the necessary locale-gen (or whatever) steps. It's in the archives.
As before, I've done "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and have selected
"en_CA ISO-8859-15", yet this happens when I run a perl script after
logging in again:
------------------------------------
(0) heretic /home/keeling_ urls
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_CA.iso885915",
LC_ALL = "",
LC_COLLATE = "C",
LANG = "en_CA.iso885915"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
------------------------------------
The last time, the maintainer thought there was no pointer from en_CA
to iso885915, and suggested adding that to locales.alias. I notice
there are no en_* entries in /etc/locale.alias
I'm trying to help someone else who's trying to get iso885915 working (I
usually use iso88591), and it's a little annoying that
"dpkg-reconfigure locales" still can't manage to sort this out.
So, dear maintainer, what are the low level commands to force the
creation of en_CA.iso885915 support? /etc/locale.gen:
------------------------------------
en_CA ISO-8859-1
en_CA ISO-8859-15

9 open bugs, that does not seem that bad.

It works here, but I do not know with 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4. But you
should replace the last line by
en_CA.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15
If it still fails, run
$ localedef -i en_CA -f ISO-8859-15 en_CA.ISO-8859-15
There is no bug, I am thus closing this bugreport.
