Martin, my plan was to fix the issues that that patch tries to solve in g-c-c 3.2.1 and then completely remove this patch from the package. I could just fix a couple, since the others seemed a bit risky for a SRU, so the patch from Gunnar fixes this bug really for Oneiric users. There shouldn't be any impact for stable users, since we are getting the list of languages from another place anyway, so commenting out that call doesn't really affect much. My plan is to completely remove this Ubuntu- specific patch for Precise and, if possible, in a late SRU for Oneiric.
So, this should be safe, has been tested for a couple of weeks now. The 2 variables are initialized at the beginning of the function, so no problem with that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864618 Title: sets $LANG to a language name Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Oneiric: Incomplete Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Bug description: As of the last oneiric upgrade I performed (I'm not certain, but I think this was from lightdm 0.9.7-0ubuntu2 to 1.0.0-0ubuntu3), my locale has been broken; it is now set to en_GB rather than to en_GB.UTF-8.
