** Description changed: - Binary package hint: apt + apt 0.6.46.4ubuntu7, Ubuntu ? + apt ?, Kubuntu 8.10 + apt 0.8.3ubuntu7, Ubuntu 10.10 This is about apt with LANGUAGE=de_AT:de (gets set by gdm/session- manager or so). Install/remove a package with apt-get. You will see a confirmation prompt and the keys to confirm/cancel the installation (e.g.: [Y/n]). Type 'y'. Expected result: apt-get will continue. I get: Abort. snippet with my current locale settings: [...@monique~%] sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-standard Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig - Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut + Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut Reading state information... Fertig The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: - ubuntu-standard + ubuntu-standard Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. Die folgenden Pakete werden ENTFERNT: - ubuntu-standard + ubuntu-standard 0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 1 zu entfernen und 1 nicht aktualisiert. Es müssen 0B Archive geholt werden. Nach dem Auspacken werden 45.1kB Plattenplatz freigegeben worden sein. Möchten Sie fortfahren [J/n]? J Abbruch. </end snippet> Oh well, why does this happen? [...@monique~%] echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 [...@monique~%] echo $LANGUAGE de_AT:de If I change $LANG to de_AT.UTF-8, it just works! Seems like, the strings for what is displayed as the question, and the strings which are used to compare the answer are not taken from the same locale (group). Kinda disturbing, please fix.
