[Bug 1322968] Re: Changing country leads to invalid locale
Nope, current policy is to wait until it either vanishes or makes no sense at all any more or simply expires.
I moved to a different distro some time ago just because of these annoyances.

Title:
Changing country leads to invalid locale
Status in kde-runtime package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
New installation of Kubuntu 14.04 and upgraded via kubuntu-ppa.
Initially, country is set to "United States". The locale settings are
the following:
~/.kde/env$ cat setlocale.sh
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en:el:en
export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
Then, I change Country to Greece, via System Settings. Locale changes
as follows:
export LANG=en_GR.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en:el:en
export LC_NUMERIC=en_GR.UTF-8
export LC_TIME=en_GR.UTF-8
export LC_MONETARY=en_GR.UTF-8
export LC_PAPER=en_GR.UTF-8
export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GR.UTF-8
export LC_NAME=en_GR.UTF-8
export LC_ADDRESS=en_GR.UTF-8
export LC_TELEPHONE=en_GR.UTF-8
export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GR.UTF-8
As far as I know, en_GR.UTF-8 is not a valid entry. A severe loss of
functionality is that accents cannot be set properly to greek vowels.
Changing manually setlocale.sh to:
export LANG=el_GR.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en:el:en
export LC_NUMERIC=el_GR.UTF-8
export LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8
export LC_MONETARY=el_GR.UTF-8
export LC_PAPER=el_GR.UTF-8
export LC_IDENTIFICATION=el_GR.UTF-8
export LC_NAME=el_GR.UTF-8
export LC_ADDRESS=el_GR.UTF-8
export LC_TELEPHONE=el_GR.UTF-8
export LC_MEASUREMENT=el_GR.UTF-8
solves the issue.
