Bug Description

Traditional/Simplified Chinese install failed in Feisty all Herds & Beta

This bug reside in Feisty Herd 1/2/3/4/5 alternative install CD. To encounter this bug,
1. First, boot up with Feisty alternative install CD, select "text mode" installation
2. select Language as Traditional/Simplified Chinese
3. then select Region as Taiwan/PRC
4. and select keyboard as US keyboard,
5. then "Red Screen" pop-up, with message claiming some step failed and can't go on.

If tries to install in english, the installer can proceed all the way, then can use aptitude to install Traditional Chinese related packages.

This is a Feisty specific bug, showing up in Herd 1/2/3/4/5 & Beta alternative install CD. 6.06 LTS & 6.10 do not has such bug in alternative CD installer.

Hi! Brian:

Can I send you a screenshot picture file? The text in "Red Screen" is
Chinese, so I include the pic, briefly translating it into English, and
hoping this can help. The text says:
===========================================================================================
[!!] Ubuntu Installer Main Menu

Installation Failed

One procedure of installation has failed. You can retry it from
corresponding menu item, or ignore it to select other steps. The step failed
is:

<Continue>
===========================================================================================

Some additional info: The screen shot is taken from vmware 5.53. If I choose
<Continue> button after seeing it, the screen then become corrupted, seems
hanging the installer.

Hi! Brian:

I've tested Herd 4, same bug still remain there. In addtion, I found if one choose "Chinese (Simplified)" (a kind of Chinese use by PRC), same bug will show-up.

Hope this help!

  * Source debconf confmodule earlier in postinst (it should always be
    sourced as early as possible, as it re-executes the calling script).
  * Fix horrible confusion if the locale has no supported default codeset
    (LP: #84401).
  * Fix console-setup/codeset default to be one of the available choices.
  * Try harder to ensure that we aren't running under X when deciding
    whether to run setupcon on upgrade (thanks to Kurt J. Bosch for
    suggestions; LP: #93338).
  * Don't set an AltGr key by default for US layouts (LP: #76901).
