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

[Julian Edwards]

It's clear that PG has a packaging bug, it should not hang the postinst
script because of an invalid locale.  That bug ought to be triaged and
this can be a dupe of it.

@Robie
Yes I see a /etc/profile.d/Z99-cloud-locale-test.sh but not the skip file.  I can recreate this trivially with new canonistack instances:

ed at beast:~$ echo $LC_TIME
en_GB.utf8
ed at beast:~$ ssh 10.55.60.195
The authenticity of host '10.55.60.195 (<no hostip for proxy command>)' can't be established.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '10.55.60.195' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
