Bug#396354: Removing locales after installation of locales-all result in no locales
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.6.ds1-4
Severity: normal
On alioth we provide all locales to our users and since I knew of locales-all
in etch, I installed it and immediately after I removed the "locales"
package since locales-all is providing it anyway.
This resulted in no installed locales... in fact both locales-all and
locales remove /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive on removal (see prerm).
I suggest either that both packages conflict or that the prerm snippet be
changed so that it effectively removes this file only when needed, ie when
the last of the two packages is removed.
