[Bug 1502921] Re: LightDM sets wrong environment variables

 

It looks like I made a mistake when changing accountsservice in
connection with the fix of bug #1440275. Just uploaded a correction,
which is waiting for distro manager approval.

It's an inconsistency in one of the language-tools scripts which causes
the reported behavior:

$ /usr/share/language-tools/language-validate ja_JP.UTF-8
en

After the change, that command will result in ja or ja_JP. This is the
source code diff:
