I've been running Feisty for a while and decided to upgrade to Hardy. I used the Update Manager to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy without problems last night. Tonight I decided to take the next step from Gutsy to Hardy. I again used the Update Manager GUI. But this time things didn't go so well.
During the step "Setting up locales (2.7.9-4) ..." I get the following message:
Generating locales...
en_AU.UTF-8...
And then the installer hangs forever with localedef eating 100% CPU.
I'm not the only one. Here are the relevant threads on the forums:
Interestingly enough, both threads were started *tonight* and there are no relevant earlier threads matching "localedef", which makes me suspect this was due to a very recent change.
Binary package hint: locales
