Subject: debconf: dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration uses wrong locale settings
Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2019 11:08:27 +0200
Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.71
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Trying to change the keyboard layout with 'dpkg-reconfigure
keyboard-configuration' the list of possible choices is displayed in a
wrong language. (no idea which language is used, the name of the
language is shown as 'Duits' instead of 'Deutsch'). Unfortunately not
all characters in this language could be displayed correctly.

As a workaround the following command could be used:

'LC_ALL=C dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration'

Cheers, Christian
