Description Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2017-05-21 10:17:18 CEST

Hi.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that firefox-en_ZA-52.1.0-1.mga6 was installed by default along with en_US, en_UK and nb_NO.

I can't remember selecting en_ZA at any time during installation.

Installed MGA6-sta2 over network in April.

It is normal to see that locales-en gets installed if you booted the classical iso in English, but, as reported in bug #20745, when en_US is the _only_ English flavour that is set, firefox-en_ZA en firefox en_GB get installed, too.

In the firefox.spec, I read:

 # packages requiring locales-XX will be automatically preferred when locales-XX
 # is already installed
 Recommends:     firefox-l10n

so it seems expected to see that all firefox-en_* packages got installed, because locales-en was installed.... there is no such thing as locales-en_US, locales-en_GB etc.

I don't know whether anything can be changed. Assigning to all packagers collectively, because there is no registered maintainer for locales or firefox-l10n
