Bug Description

Binary package hint: language-pack-en-base

Configuring language pack package during install/upgrade (probably) calls locale-gen with that single locale which in turn removes the other installed and generated locales. This behaviour brokes the system and force the administrator to run locale-gen after each install/upgrade language pack. It would be wise to defer running locale-gen like library defered ldconfig and run it at the end of install/upgrade without locale specification.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

The problem is solved by calling install-language-pack which in turn calls locale-gen with --no-purge argument.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD development release - Maverick Meerkat. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
