Package: lxc-templates
Version: 3.0.3-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks postgresql installation
To reproduce, install debian buster using debian installer or live
installer and select English India as language.
Create an lxc container with
lxc-create -n gitlab -t debian -- -r unstable
Run dpkg-reconfigure locales inside container
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_IN.en_IN...[error] character map file `en_IN' not found: No such
file or directory
[error] not all characters used in `outdigit' are available in the
charmap
done
Generation complete.
It works in the host buster system but fails in lxc.
On host machine,
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_IN.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
Inside lxc, somehow it is trying to use en_IN.en_IN instead of
en_IN.UTF-8, this also breaks postgresql installation.

Even though host machine has a UTF-8 enabled locale, the configured
locale inside container is wrong.
