Steve, so here is the background. I preseed the debconf database with the locals I want to use and then I basically do the equivalent of dpkg --set-selections and then a apt-get dist-upgrade( not truely what I do but the process is the same). The locales package prompts me with an ncurses menu to select locales which the ones I preset are already checked and I have to manually select ok for it to continue. I first noticed this yesterday, but it still occurs today( I sync every night to a debian mirror ).
Also when I run your command on my current machine it also does the exact same thing. It give some ncurses window to select the locales I am using: ||/ Name Version Description +++-===================-===================-====================================================== ii locales 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: National Language (locale) data [suppor Rick Steve Langasek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > severity 307935 important > tags 307935 unreproducible moreinfo > thanks > > On Fri, May 06, 2005 at 10:48:10AM -0500, Richard Bradshaw wrote: >> Package: locales >> Version: 2.3.2.ds1-21 >> Severity: serious >> Justification: Policy 3.10.1 > >> heavily rely on the ability to do unattended installs of debian and as >> of recent the locales package has started prompting, which causes my >> build process to hang indefinetly.
