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!
