Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.30+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,



   * What led up to the situation?

After an upgrade from Strech, I found out that I was unable to choose my formats (measurements, paper type, date format) when using the locale en_US.UTF-8.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I upgraded from Strech following the usual method (Debian wiki/manual). The settings were overidden during the upgrade, as far as I understand.

* What was the outcome of this action?
It changed my formats settings and I am unable to change it from the dedicated settings GUI. I did not try to force it in CLI though.
  
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I was expecting to be able to e.g. change the paper type to A4 or change the date format, or even switch from imperial measurements to International System of Units.

Best,

JB
