[Uqbar <1322968@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I appreciate a lot the work done by the (K)Ubuntu team, this is why I
was here to try to help.

I am a plain simple KUbuntu user, just like many others.
I use KUbuntu, not KDE alone nor Debian.
I encountered a bug and I tried to reproduce it in order to report it properly on (K)Ubuntu bug tracking. A report matching my situation was already there, so I joined the crowd.

I have no idea whether this is a bug coming from KUbuntu, KDE, Debian,
GnuLibC or the kernel: I am not a dev at (K)Ubuntu nor a (re)packager,
just a miserable simple user (MSU).

Someone else, the original triager, has more knowledge than I have
(quite easy) and knows/understands/checks that this is a real bug that's
not been introduced by (K)Ubuntu itself but by "someone else"(tm), aka
an "upstream" package.

So the bug needs to be filed upstream, not here. Cool. As the best knowledge about the bug is in the original triager heads, he/she asks the MSU to file the bug upstream.
So the MSU goes upstream, registers a new user (he won't even likely need any more) and goes through the process of the bug filing. By starting with a fresh new installation.

This means that the subsequent bug triaging steps are in the MSU hands,
which has much less knowledge than the original triager.

Long story shorter, it takes more time and resources by the MSU and by
the upstream developer team to handle the bug, just to avoid the
original triager a little bit more work: report the bug upstream with
all the details she/he already has got.

Does this make any sense?
Does this make any sense after 7+ years?

I am not really sure.

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.
