UnknownLocaleError on ubuntu 14.04

[Giovanni Gherdovich]

Hello,

I just upgraded to ubuntu 14.04 and
I am getting this snippet gives me an UnknownLocaleError:

-------------------------
>>> from babel import Locale
>>> Locale.parse('en_US')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/babel/core.py", line 313, in parse
    raise UnknownLocaleError(input_id)
babel.core.UnknownLocaleError: unknown locale 'en_US'
-------------------------

(it's python 2.7)
any clue ?

My locale is en_US.UTF-8

-------------------------
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
-------------------------

Same thing if I do Locale.parse('en_US.UTF-8'):


-------------------------
>>> from babel import Locale
>>> Locale.parse('en_US.UTF-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/babel/core.py", line 313, in parse
    raise UnknownLocaleError(input_id)
babel.core.UnknownLocaleError: unknown locale 'en_US'
-------------------------

I narrowed down to

------------------------------
>>> from babel import localedata
>>> localedata.exists('en_US')
False
------------------------------

and seems babel looks for a file at '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/babel/localedata/en_US.dat' ,

which I don't have.

Still, could not solve.

This works for me on Fedora 20.

But on Fedora I see this file:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/babel/localedata/en_US.dat

So you should check why en_US.dat is not present in Ubuntu (or maybe they
splitted the module and you need to install extra packages?).

On Ubuntu the files are in /usr/share/python-babel-localedata/localedata/
However I can confirm that en_US.dat is missing on 14.04 with python-babel-localedata package version 1.3+dfsg.1-2ubuntu1
(Many other locales are present including en_ZM.dat etc)

Update: This is actually present in the package, so something is removing it
See http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/all/python-babel-localedata/filelist

Perhaps I should have finished my investigation before each reply. There are bug reports about this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-babel/+bug/1299442
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-babel/+bug/1320612

They contain information about proposed fixes, but in the mean time:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-babel-localedata
will fix the issue

Hi,

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-babel-localedata

made the trick.

[Hans van Dijk]

Hi,

It seems you helped me out, however it resulted in the advice to do: sudo apt-get -f install

Now much more python failures during ubuntu upgrade are solved.
