[Bug 1679552] [NEW] locales 2.23-0ubuntu7 breaks locale settings

[Andreas Borg]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to locales 2.23-0ubuntu7 on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS running
with de_DE.ISO-8859-1, I got several error messages about the locale
configuration, e.g.;

/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
/usr/bin/mandb: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct

PostgreSQL did not start with the log file saying:

FATAL:  invalid value for parameter "lc_messages": "de_DE.ISO-8859-1"

Running "dpkg-reconfigure locales" did not solve the problem. Only after
downgrading to locales 2.23-0ubuntu3, another reconfigure fixed the
issue.
