[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1535620@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I am running Ubuntu 5.10. Some time ago software-center
(13.10-0ubuntu12) started to crash on the first launch during a session.
It turned out that software-center tries to determine a country code
from the locale data (region.py, line 114, in _get_region_dumb) by
splitting the locale at the underscore. My locale ("eo") does not
contain an underscore.

A second launch usually succeeds; I suppose there is another way of
getting the country information (_get_region_geoclue?). I have no idea
what the country information is used for, so I would rather not hack it.

In my opinion programs should not depend on an underscore in the locale.
