Description:
The bash program archlinux-installer is made to work with the english locales, not another (mostly due to the parsing of pacman output, which relies on the locale, I think). A simple way to fix it would be to export LANG=en just before the use of pacman, and then set it again to the previous value once it's done. Additional info: Latest version: 2009.02-2 Steps to reproduce: Export LANG to fr, for example, then run /arch/setup, it'll work until the package selection time, and then a big fail in the package list, and the installer says "no package selected". |
