blog entry

[Matt Zimmerman]

I read your blog entry at
http://www.enricozini.org/blog/eng/second-day-in-addis.html and wanted to
respond as follows:

- localeconf is not the standard way to configure locales in Ubuntu; what
  documentation told you that?  It's an unsupported package from Progeny.
  If what you wanted was to set the system default locale from the command
  line, editing /etc/environment is probably the best way.

- I suggest filing a bug report at
  https://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-website about the HTTPS issue; I
  don't think it's necessary for the entire wiki to be HTTPS, only
  authentication.

- Synaptic may be able to use the GNOME proxy settings without introducing
  undesirable dependencies; please file a wishlist bug

- dict, squid and other packages from main are not on the Ubuntu CDs because
  there is no space.  The DVD contains these packages.

- The cupsys documentation bug was quite likely inherited from Debian and
  should be reported there

- You can file bugs in Malone via email; this has been possible for a long
  time now.  Please don't reinforce this misconception.
