[Bug 395335] Re: General locale/gettext issues

[Beni Cherniavsky]

I can repro a crash on 12.04 when LANG points to a non-installed locale:

$ unset LANGUAGE LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT LC_IDENTIFICATION 
$ lolcale
No command 'lolcale' found, did you mean:
 Command 'locale' from package 'libc-bin' (main)
lolcale: command not found

$ export LANG=uk_UA.utf8
$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=uk_UA.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="uk_UA.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="uk_UA.utf8"
LC_TIME="uk_UA.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="uk_UA.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="uk_UA.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="uk_UA.utf8"
LC_PAPER="uk_UA.utf8"
LC_NAME="uk_UA.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="uk_UA.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="uk_UA.utf8"
