Package: systemd
Version: 227-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
after installing locales package, generating my localization, editing
/etc/locale.conf and finally rebooting the system, all the locales
variable now default to "POSIX", as stated from the output of
"locale".
"localectl status", though, shows the desired values (the one i set in
/etc/locale.conf), so the status printed by localectl is different
from the actual status of the system.
Here is the output of the two commands:
---
$ locale
LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
$ localectl status
System Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NAME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT.UTF-8
VC Keymap: n/a

To circumvent this, i copied /etc/locale.conf to /etc/default/locale,
and in this way the locale is correctly set at startup.
Reading locale.conf(5) man page, one may think that editing
/etc/locale.conf is enough to set the locale, but indeed it's not.
Thanks.
