Control: severity -1 important Hello,
I'm sorry that this bug report takes so much time to get it fixed properly.I've been distracted by the Outreachy project, which has taken a lot of my development time.
I'm not sure whether the fix should be made in hook 1020 as proposed.There are several things influencing the language in a live system and the result after installation:
1) Booting the live environment2) Installing from the live environment using Calamares (in this scenario there are even 2 ways to influence the locale: first during the booting of the live environment and second within Calamares)
3) Installing using the Debian installerAd 1: live-config enforces the locale and defaults to 'en_US.UTF-8' in /etc/default/locale The live squahfs image contains a symlink /etc/default/locale pointing to /etc/locale.conf with the content 'C.UTF-8'
Ad 2: Untested by me at the momentAd 3: The Debian installer asks the user about the locale and subsequently copies the content of the live squashfs image to the harddisk.
I'm currently wondering whether a default value should be stored in the live squashfs image at all, because its value will be overwritten anyway. And secondly, whether the Debian installer should either skip copying the content or write the answers to the question at a later moment into the installed system.
I'm downgrading this issue to 'important', making it a non-RC bug to avoid removal of the live-build package (which would a much larger effect). Don't worry, it is still on the TODO list.
With kind regards, Roland Clobus
