Package: locales
Version: 2.7-8
Severity: important
After upgrade to version 2.7-8 most of my software does not show
the selected language because locales does not keep the selected
language, as shown bellow:
$ locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
pt_BR
pt_BR.iso88591
pt_BR.utf8
Content of /etc/environment :
LANGUAGE="pt_BR.UTF-8:pt_BR:pt:pt_PT"
LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8
But locale is set as:
$ locale
LANG=
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=
Running dpkg-reconfigure locales does not change that. I'm not able to
set locale to anything but POSIX.

are you sure /etc/environment is sourced by your shell ?
dpkg-reconfigure won't source it again for you. The fact that for you
LANG is empty means that /etc/environment is not sourced, which is a
problem of your shell, not the libc. If you're under X, you need to
logout, if under a linux console either to run source /etc/environment
or logout/login again.
FWIW it works here properly, and I see no reason why it shouldn't.
Please reopen the bug if needed.
