Hi all,
each time I install a package I get the error ( or warning) about the
Lang envir variables:

After unpacking 14.8MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
python2.5-minimal python2.5
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "fr_FR.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").


the file is : cat /etc/environment
LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"

Do I need to add something there or elsewhere

thanks a lot
best regards
bela

It seems that nowadays in Debian, you must set the locale by
running as root

update-locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

This stores the locale value in /etc/defaults/locale (instead of
/etc/environment).

I get this from time to time and just run a 'dpkg-reconfigure locales'. This
runs update-locale as well as locale-gen for your selected locales.
