[pkg-lxqt-devel] Bug#864482: LXQt Locale Configuration alows selection of non-existent en_DE locale

[Marc Haber]

Package: lxqt
Version: 13
Severity: minor

Hi,

in the "LXQT Locale Configuration" that I can call up from the Menu with
"Preferences -> LXQT Settings -> Locale" allows me to choose "Germany -
English (en_DE)", which leads to, for example,
/home/mh/.config/lxqt/session.conf:LC_MONETARY=en_DE.UTF-8.

But, alas, there is no de_DE locale in Debian's glibc.

Why does lxqt allow me to select something that doesn't exist?

Greetings
Marc
