The problem is that base-config must know if LANG uses a valid locale, and if the current terminal can use it. If any of this is false, it must unset LANG (and LANGUAGE) to avoid printing garbage during install. So base-config needs to - Try to generate the locale listed in LANG, unset it if it is not valid. (before running 'locale charset') - Check if the LANG locale uses a supported charset, and choose the proper terminal based on this information. (in termwrap) - Check if the locale in LANG is valid, and if the current terminal can handle the charset, and unset LANG if it isn't (base-config) Of course, these parts use almost the same algorithm, but it must be done in sequence. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
