[Bug 1759442] Re: LANG=C.UTF-8 in squashfs prevents configuration of locale

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package localechooser - 2.71ubuntu2

---------------
localechooser (2.71ubuntu2) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Allow localechooser to write out preferences to /etc/default/locale
    even if we're installing to a pre-configured rootfs. (LP: #1759442)
  * Make C.UTF-8 a configurable option and use the same codepaths as C.
  * Set C.UTF-8 as default when localechooser is not seen or preseeded.

Title:
  LANG=C.UTF-8 in squashfs prevents configuration of locale

Status in localechooser package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The code in 05localechooser assumes that if grep -q ^LANG=
  /target/etc/default/locale succeeds it's managed to configure the
  locale. But that file defaults to LANG=C.UTF-8 now and so
  localechooser never sets the locale.
