Locales corrupted? [resolved]
installing Haggis got this:
things still install and the upg went ok, anybody else hit this?
Tried this:
http://www.donankleer.com/articles/linu ... to-install
looks like all the LC_* stuff is busted, looking to fix it.
not sure if it's my fault or not, purged it, installed it.

Re: Locales corrupted?
Regular Haggis user here. I usually dist-upgrade once a day and never seen such a message.

Re: Locales corrupted?
Same here, first time I see this messy message. Running Haggis on all PCs (it's the base for a bunch of releases). Looks a bit like a corrupted download, doesn't it?
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
dpkg-reconfigure locales
This should set the locales, run update again and then dist-upgrade.
Google search terms:

Re: Locales corrupted?
Applied pretty much every patch google has to offer, I have a better idea about locales, than I did 8)
Running your patch now, at a glance, looks like the sources are trying to get the locales from 2 places...
doing the dist-upg is hard going...

Re: Locales corrupted?
Sure, it is getting stuff from Debian sid, experimental and siduction. This is no problem because the bigger dog fucks. I am pretty sure one of the sources was not updated. Try again, this is a Perl problem and won't affect your installation of other things.

Re: Locales corrupted?
I'm getting a message about the 3.16 kernel not installing
in fact it's the same error about compression.
apt-get install -f doesn't work
Gekko, have you modified your source.list.d/debian to a local mirror?

Re: Locales corrupted?
The 3.16 is kept back because of the initramfs-tools shit I guess. You can sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, this will make it force install.
For completeness: I just did a sudo apt-get install perl (to jump from 5.20.0-6 to 5.20.1) and locales (2.19-11) and it finished normally.
Yes, on Haggis :)

Re: Locales corrupted?
Addendum: I will install Haggis now from scratch on a spare drive and normally 'upg' as usually. Will report back soon.

Re: Locales corrupted?
yeah, not saying it's haggis, just wondering what i've done.
I've pretty much screwed the install, by randomly rm'ing things, so I'll be doing the same - race ya 8)

Re: Locales corrupted?
Would you mind to reinstall and in the meanwhile tell me what you want to rm from it? :)
You can localepurge, if this is what you wanted to do originally.

Re: Locales corrupted?
OK so the upgrade indeed installed a new version of perl and of course bash, tzdata and apt. I think apt depends on perl, that's why it upgrades it. Everything looks good, so you must have rm'ed the wrong hole :D

Re: Locales corrupted?
I only rm'ed things after the dist-upg went bad. 8)
I find the console-setup keyboard thing never sticks, complains about rc.something not stopping. so i edited it manually.
then i ran the dpkg locales thing. surprised it looked different, choose en_GB.utf-8 then. hmm installed a few things.
things looking good half way through an upg

Code: Select all
# dpkg-reconfigure console-data
# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
# service keyboard-setup restart
