SUMMARY
It introduces a RV
mechanismthat declares the mode in a more descriptive way:Refer to #9131 (comment) for a more complete rationale.
Change the logic to determine whether
ubuntu_modeisTrueorFalse.Formerly it would:
ubuntu_mode=Trueif/var/lib/locales/supported.dexisted,Falseif/etc/locale.genexists,With this PR it will:
ubuntu_mode=Falseis/etc/locale.genis present,Trueif the/var/lib/...directory exists,Canonical made a deliberate decision to move towards the glibc support, so all Ubuntu versions since 16.04 have
/etc/locale.gen. I have tested locally in Debian 11 and 12 and both of them worked using glibc mode.The PR will include tests forcing
ubuntu_mode=True.Fixes #8487 #9131
