Title:
Archlinux locale configuration broken
Status in cloud-init:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The method for configuring the locale information for Arch is
incorrect; it's writing "LANG=lang.CP CP" to /etc/locale.gen which
should just be "lang.CP CP" (no foo=bar) as a naked line. The LANG= is
to be written to /etc/locale.conf instead.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-
init/trunk/view/head:/cloudinit/distros/arch.py#L47
Provider (Rackspace) generated config value:
# grep ^locale /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/10_rackspace.cfg
locale: en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
== Existing code ==
# cat /etc/locale.gen
# Created by cloud-init v. 0.7.6 on Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:23:26 +0000

# locale-gen

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"...character map file `UTF-8"' not found: No such file or directory
cannot open locale definition file `LANG="en_US': No such file or directory
== Manually fixed ==

Generation complete.
====
The attached patch takes a stab at correcting arch.py, however I'm not
a Python coder so YMMV. Based on the existing code, it seems to be
expected the Provider always specify "lang.CP CP" for 'locale' in the
cloud.cfg file(s) so this patch is based on that expectation, using
split() looking for the space and peeling off the first element for
/etc/locale.conf setup.
