https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1577330 Bug ID: 1577330 Summary: After upgrade to Fedora 28, system which was localized all in French becomes partly US English Product: Fedora Localization Component: French [fr] Severity: medium Assignee: pablomg+fedora(a)eskapa.be Reporter: lazeroptyx(a)gmail.com QA Contact: trans-fr(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: michael.ughetto(a)gmail.com, pablomg+fedora(a)eskapa.be Description of problem: I upgraded a notebook running Fedora 26 to Fedora 28. Prior to the upgrade, the notebook was fully localized in French (fr_FR.utf8). But after the upgrade, parts of the system are found to be localized in US English. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-langpack-fr-2.27-8.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: Reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare a PC or virtual instance under Fedora 27 or 26 2. Set localization to all French and Paris time zone 3. Upgrade to Fedora 28 thru "dnf system-upgrade" 4. Type the "date" command in a shell window Actual results: The date comes back in US English $ date Fri May 11 19:37:12 CEST 2018 Expected results: Date should be in French: $ date ven. mai 11 19:38:21 CEST 2018 Additional info: The behavior of the "date" command persists even after setting the LANG environment variable explicitely to fr_FR.utf8. Also some parts of the GUI have been "reverted" to US English. For example, the top menu "Système" has become "System". I am using the MATE spin, but there is probably no influence from that. By tracing the date command with strace, it seems that some files under /usr/lib/locale/ are missing, such as fr_FR.utf8 ; and these files are owned by RPM package glibc-langpack-fr. Turns out this package is NOT installed on the system. Installing manually the glibc-langpack-fr RPM package is a good workaround, assuming the user has the appropriate skills. Of course, one can suspect the same would happen with a notebook localized in Spanish, German, etc.... So something seems amiss in the Fedora system upgrade procedure for non-US systems. Thanks a lot for your help. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
