Comment 17 for bug 1134036

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@beast:~$ echo $LC_TIME
en_GB.utf8
ed@beast:~$ ssh 10.55.60.195
The authenticity of host '10.55.60.195 (<no hostip for proxy command>)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is 42:7b:4f:79:b2:2c:95:d7:ce:32:90:d4:c5:6c:f3:3f.
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.
