[Bug 1662031] Re: Switching language and format broken
To clarify: I used the g-c-c interface to switch language. If I had
clicked "Manage Installed Languages" to open Language Support and then
clicked "Apply System-Wide", /etc/default/locale would have been updated
too. But that 'does not count'. Language Support is available to work
around the fact that installation of new languages from g-c-c does not
work currently.

Bug description:
In Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 it doesn't matter what display language I select
- the effective language is still the one stated in
/etc/default/locale. ~/.pam_environment is changed as expected, but
the variables set in /etc/default/locale override ~/.pam_environment.
In Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 language switching takes effect, but the reason
for that seems to be that /etc/default/locale is changed as well, so
when a user changes the display language (or format), it changes it
for all users on the system.
The overriding by /etc/default/locale is probably caused by some other
package(s) but g-c-c.
