[Bug 1134036] Re: Failure when using ssh with a locale that is not configured on the server

[Robie Basak]

Can I suggest that profile.d/01-locale-check.sh is a misnomer and it
should be called something like profile.d/01-locale-fix.sh instead,
because it (potentially) actively changes things? OTOH /usr/bin/locale-
check is fine because it doesn't change anything in itself.

Title:
  Failure when using ssh with a locale that is not configured on the
  server

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in maas package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If LC_ALL is not set (which seems to be the default on a few server
  installations I've done now), mid way through installing, you get this
  backtrace and then the installation just hangs.  You can ctrl-c out of
  it but the package is left half configured.
