Title:
  alacarte crashed with ValueError in _parse_localename()

Status in “python2.6” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python2.6

  Bug #223281 is back (if it ever went away: my Lucid server
  installation has the same problem — I am not sure if I should re-open
  that bug). It fails for locale sr_RS (default Serbian locale on
  Ubuntu). Other applications are affected as well (eg. gtg and update-
  manager, though update-manager keeps working even if it prints out a
  traceback on stderr).

  For sr_RS problem seems to be that an old X.org locale.alias is used
  to initialize the alias table in locale.py (i.e. there's no mention of
  sr_RS in there).

  Simplest way to reproduce this is to do:

    $ LANG=sr_RS python
    >>> import locale
    >>> locale.getdefaultlocale()

  Bug #539457 seems to be another duplicate (closed after not responded
  to needs-info, though requested information is in the traceback: en_NG
  is the locale that it fails with.
