Brief description of your issue

Windows Package Manager fails with 0x8a150039 : Invalid data returned by rest source when trying to install the "dm-Fotowelt" package from the Microsoft Store. The log file reveals the root cause:

[REPO] Received manifest contains validation error: The locale value is not a well formed bcp47 language tag.

The problem appears to be this:

"PackageLocale":"neutral"

We did not allow for neutral due to winget-pkgs, but maybe we should allow it in the schema. If we did it would have been x-neutral as BCP47 does not have a built in neutral.

Working with the right people internally to get the data issue resolved, thanks for the report.

Can't believe this has been an issue this long. Remove the 'msstore' source (as Administrator) if you need things to work.

Not sure how to add it back though! Forgot to run winget source list msstore before removing it to get the full details.

There is a sub-command for restoring the default sources, which includes msstore: winget source reset. It must be run with administrator privileges.
This command is documented here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/source
