Looks good. Also the other machine seems to have a perfectly fine locale. As regards corruption, I think it usually happens if you try to set a locale name that has not been generated (i.e. is not included in locale- archive). For instance, I don't have Spanish installed on my computer.
$ LANG="es_ES.UTF-8" $ locale locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_ALL= As you can see, my attempt to still set es_ES.UTF-8 resulted in error messages when running the locale command. But as long as the locale command does not output any errors, and LC_ALL is not set, you ought to be fine. Closing this bug now. Good luck with the next dist-upgrade. ;-) And if you - contrary to expectation - would run into similar difficulties, please file a new bug. ** Changed in: langpack-locales (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663694 Title: apt-get fails with LANG=es_ES.utf8, succeeds with LANG=C To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/663694/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
