It seems to me that there needs to be some work done to ensure that changes to the official ISO list become 'sticky' and don't get undone by some careless person using an out-of-date ISO-3166 country list reference.
GG JE and IM were added to the ISO list in 2006. AX not long after. SX, CW and others (Dutch Caribbean) recently. This problem is pervasive and causes real-life problems .. While Ubuntu itself is free -- this sort of error in other circumstances -- such as using Ubuntu as an e-commerce website platform and being forced to choose a "wrong" country code can (and often does!) cause a 20% increase in the price of something (being charged VAT when it is not applicable). This should be addressed at a strategic level .. it affects more than just the installer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/814448 Title: Debian Installer has wrong defaults when country = IM GG or JE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/814448/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
