Debian, locales, and puppet

By justin - Posted on 01 February 2010

Having gotten sick and tired of receiving error messages like this:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = (unset),
	LC_ALL = (unset),
	LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

I decided to solve the problem once and for all. We use puppet to manage machines, so this should be - and is - straight forward.

/etc/puppet/modules/locales/files/locales.gen:

# 
# /etc/locales.gen
#
# managed by puppet
#
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

/etc/puppet/modules/locales/manifests/init.pp:

class locales {
	package { "locales": 
		ensure => latest,
	}
	file { "/etc/locale.gen":
		source => [
			"puppet://$server/files/locales/host/locale.gen.$fqdn",
			"puppet://$server/files/locales/host/locale.gen.$hostname",
			"puppet://$server/files/locales/env/locale.gen.$environment",
			"puppet://$server/files/locales/locale.gen",
			"puppet://$server/locales/locale.gen",
		],
		owner => "root",
		group => "root",
		mode => 644,
		require => Package[locales],
	}
	exec { "/usr/sbin/locale-gen":
		subscribe => File["/etc/locale.gen"],
		refreshonly => true,
                require => Package[locales],
		require => File["/etc/locale.gen"],
	}
}

Note that the code above permits server-specific, or environment specific files to override the default file found in the module. As well, the locale.gen will not get downloaded until AFTER the locales package has been installed, and locale-gen will not attempt to run until after the locale.gen file has been installed.
