/etc/papersize incorrecly configured

Thanks for the suggestion! Fixed for my next upload.

ubiquity (1.5.0) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Fix escaping of migration-assistant summary.
  * Only display partitions with scheduled migrations in the summary, and
    improve the formatting slightly.
  * Remove another stray newline from the migration-assistant summary.
  * GTK frontend:
    - Pressing Enter in the migration-assistant user/password entry boxes
      activates the Forward button.
    - Drop X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=ubiquity in the .desktop file for now, to
      work around a bug somewhere that causes the translations in the
      .desktop file to be ignored in that case.
    - Disable thunar automounting during installation (LP: #107259).
  * Remove the old advanced partitioner.
  * Use code based on shutil.copyfileobj rather than shutil.copyfile to copy
    files, avoiding a couple of unnecessary stats due to os.path.samefile.
  * Remove netcloner, noui, and text frontends, which are too out-of-date at
    the moment even to be worth using as examples. A reimplementation would
    need to start from scratch anyway.
  * Rename gtkui frontend to gtk-ui to match kde-ui (which had to be named
    that way due to a clash with python-kde3).
  * Update some copyright dates.
  * Split out internationalisation code from ubiquity.misc into
    ubiquity.i18n.
  * Remove some dead code from ubiquity.misc.
  * Create a BaseFrontend class and move various things to it; it now counts
    as a relatively clear specification of what a frontend has to implement.
  * Reorder some frontend methods to follow the ordering of the UI.
  * Fix crash if partman exits while the create or edit dialog is being
    displayed (LP: #108204).
  * Reconfigure /etc/papersize on installation (LP: #104160).
  * When changing values of debconf questions in /target, make sure to shut
    down debconf-communicate even if the Python debconf confmodule raises an
    exception.
  * Add an intro message noting that we're alpha again.
  * Rename ubiquity.misc.ex to ubiquity.misc.execute.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup 1:0.21ubuntu1,
    base-installer 1.79ubuntu1, choose-mirror 2.15ubuntu1, clock-setup
    0.16ubuntu1, console-setup 1.15ubuntu1, debian-installer-utils
    1.48ubuntu1, grub-installer 1.24ubuntu1, hw-detect 1.52ubuntu2,
    localechooser 1.38ubuntu1, partconf 1.23, partman-auto 69ubuntu1,
    partman-base 107ubuntu1, partman-basicfilesystems 54ubuntu1,
    partman-basicmethods 35, partman-efi 13ubuntu1, partman-ext3 47,
    partman-jfs 22, partman-newworld 18, partman-partitioning 49ubuntu1,
    partman-reiserfs 36, partman-target 50ubuntu1, partman-xfs 34,
    silo-installer 1.10ubuntu1, tzsetup 1:0.17, user-setup 1.14ubuntu1,
    yaboot-installer 1.1.11ubuntu1.

This is still open.. In my country, Colombia, we use always Letter size but always A4 is set.. So, the problem maybe is only for my country bow.. but is very painfull.. Please correct this issue in my country. I set in the install my country.

My /etc/papersize now have this text:
a4

For a workaround, what is the text that I must to write to set Letter size?

Using: Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, with all the updates. But also happen in 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope fully updated until this time of development.

Julian, thanks for your report, however i believe that this is not the right bug to reopen, instead go to bug #27622

Please reopen this bug only if ubiquity is not changing the papersize content according to the locale.

In this case it seems that the es_CO.UTF-8 locale is using a4 for letter, so the bug is not here.

Thanks
