[Bug 1159290] Re: Fails to parse /etc/default/locale

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Hi Martin,

Because it's not needed any longer, or? There was some migration code in
postinst too, but it was dropped in the Quantal dev. cycle, and
Sebastien told me it's typically dropped after an LTS release. In other
words, you aren't expected to go from e.g. Oneiric to Raring without
upgrade to Precise in between.

Title:
  Fails to parse /etc/default/locale

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu14 "Region & Language" was
  patched so it can be used for setting languages and locales in Ubuntu.
  When writing to /etc/default/locale, gnome-control-center adds entries
  without quotes, e.g. LANG=en_US.UTF-8. When accountsservice parses
  /etc/default/locale, it presupposes entries like LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
  (which is the way language-selector adds entries). accountsservice
  should be able to correctly parse both kinds of entries in
  /etc/default/locale.
