Binary package hint: locales
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:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=861384
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=861194
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. |

As a workaround, "sudo killall locale-gen" allows the installation to continue, though several packages fail to install due to dependency errors. |

I also submitted an automated bug report after the failed upgrade (bug 249346).

langpack-locales: statusexplanation |
Marking bug #249346 as a duplicate of this one and upgrading status to Triaged. Thank you for following through with these reports. |
I tried very hard to reproduce this. I did test gutsy->hardy upgrades with the following five methods:
* gutsy chroot, partial upgrade to hardy's locales, libc6, and belocs-locales-bin
* gutsy installation, partial upgrade
* gutsy installation, full apt-get dist-upgrade
* gutsy installation, full update-manager dist-upgrade, with 1 GB RAM and 256 MB RAM
None of those reproduced the bug. So I'm afraid this is a race condition, or dependent on some other factors than configured locales, RAM size, etc. |

Thanks Tonfa,
I'll try and get the kernel team to examine the patch you've referenced.
I'm also just curious if this issue still manifests itself if you try to upgrade from Hardy to the ucoming Intrepid. But please note that testing upgrading to Intrepid is completely at your own comfort level though and not mandatory for you to do. As noted in our Alpha release announcements "Pre-releases of Intrepid are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs." I'm just curious if this will also affecct the upcoming release. Let us know if you feel comfortable to test and what the results are if you do. Thanks. |

I've seen this on several Gutsies, so this bug definately affects Gutsy and is confirmed. |

Sorry, I know this is a bit confusing but the invalid for Gutsy was unter the heading od 2.6.15 (which is Dapper). It is commited for 2.6.22 (which is Gutsy). |
