Bug Description

Hi,

I've installed Hardy Alpha 3 and brought the box up to date. Then I've installed lts-server and started ltsp-build-client --copy-sourceslist --debug. Building the chroot failed with the following messages:

DEBUG: Loading plugin: /usr/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Ubuntu/025-locales
error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally

I'm going to attach the full log.

I believe I have found the problem.

If LANG is set to C in the environment where ltsp-build-client is started, then 025-locales will still attempt to run locale-gen $LANG inside the chroot. This won't work:

laga@prometheus:~$ locale-gen C; echo $?
1

It works fine if $LANG is set to a different value, though.

I'm going to have a patch ready in a few minutes.

Updated patch as per ogra's recommendations. Untested, though :)

To get your fix (or workaround) included in Ubuntu, try transforming it into a patch (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff) and submitting it for review (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess).

Nevermind my comments.... LTSP development happens in bzr, so it's all good to have the patch in here.
