What you expected would happen

I would have expected the proper entry in locale.gen to have been uncommented since I have the correct entry in the locale.conf file.

What actually happened

When updating today, I was presented with a message telling me that there was no locale set. My /etc/locale.conf file had the correct LANG=en_US.UTF-8 entry. However, a check of the /etc/locale.gen file showed that the corresponding entry was not uncommented. I uncommented the entry and ran locale-gen, which didn't change anything I could see, but I thought it was the safe thing to do. I installed this system somewhere between Thanksgiving & Christmas. I have not modified either file on my own up till now. I don't think this represents any real problem, but I would have expected the entry to be uncommented. I couldn't find any forums on the new site, but I would still like to participate in the development of this wonderful installer, even if it is just pointing out potential problems. Good Work!

Thanks for reporting.

I've checked the code (scripts lib/language.sh and lib/configure_system.sh) and tested it locally and I can't recreate the issue.
The only way this could fail that I can think of would be that the variable holding the locale didn't hold the value properly, but this would mean that locale.conf wouldn't be properly formatted either.

So sorry, but I can't fix the issue.
