Package: localepurge Version: 0.6.2 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
See this example: my system is set to pt_BR.UTF-8 locale. When localepurge is installed it sets itself to preserve pt and pt_BR.UTF-8 locales, but the latter doesn't exist, only pt and pt_BR. Worse, it leaves pt_BR unchecked, like this [*] pt [ ] pt_BR [*] pt_BR.UTF-8 What happens? If the user doesn't catch that flaw, localepurge deletes all the pt_BR localisation files. So localepurge should be set like this [*] pt [*] pt_BR [*] pt_BR.UTF-8 As I said, there's no pt_BR.UTF-8 folder in /usr/share/locale but I don't know if this option should be removed or not but the important locale to be preserved is, in this case, pt_BR, it doesn't matter the encoding (UTF-8). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-5.dmz.1-liquorix-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages localepurge depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii locales 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: National L ii procps 1:3.2.8-9 /proc file system utilities ii ucf 3.0025 Update Configuration File: preserv localepurge recommends no packages.
