[Icecast-dev] Installing Airtime on ubuntu Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS

Airtime depends on UTF-8 support for international metadata. So we check
to make sure it is available at install time.

In this case LANG is set, but the system does not seem to know what its
default locale is.

Marc, what does the file /etc/default/locale contain, if anything?

On Ubuntu, running the command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

should be enough to put things right.

I'd be interested to know how the locale got into this state. Was it a
minimal server install? If so, do you perhaps not have the 'locales'
package installed?

The 'locales' package is an explicit dependency of our
airtime-easy-setup package but not a dependency of the airtime package,
which I will fix.

Cheers!

Daniel
