Uqbar,

Your tone is not welcome here. I'm a bug supervisor here, and have
determined it's an upstream bug. It's not a matter of changing it "to
the desk of other devs", but to make sure it's reported properly.

My logic here: there's no reason to believe this is an Ubuntu/Kubuntu-
only bug since there are no modifications to the source code for this,
meaning it's an upstream KDE bug. Contrary to your belief, the teams
here don't do all of the development. Ubuntu is a "distribution" of
software, not a "development" of software. So, please, report this
upstream and report the bug number back here.

I can't reproduce because I don't know what I'm looking for. And even if
I did, I wouldn't know how to fix it because I'm a packager, much like a
majority of those who work on this distribution (and all volunteer, mind
you, meaning NOT PAID).

Title:
  Changing country leads to invalid locale

Status in kde-runtime package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
