Localization Bugs That Occur During Installation

The following Localization bugs occur during installation of the Solaris 9 9/05 software.

Languages CD Installs All Languages By Default With Solaris Live Upgrade (4898832)

If you use Solaris Live Upgrade with multiple CDs to install the Solaris 9 9/05 release, the Languages CD installs all languages by default.

After the installation, if you log in to the system in a locale that is different than the locale you selected during installation, garbled characters might be displayed. After you log in to any of these locales, the English locale is displayed.

Workaround: During installation, select the custom install option. Uncheck any languages that you do not want to install during the Languages CD installation.

Upgrading Systems Running Solaris 8 Software With Full Thai/Russian/Polish/Catalan Support Leaves Invalid Packages on System (4650059)

Upgrading to the Solaris 9 9/05 release, on a system running the Solaris 8 software with the Solaris 8 Language Supplement CD installed, results in several invalid packages. Thai, Russian, Polish, and Catalan locale packages remain on the system. These locale packages have an ARCH=sparcall value and are not removed during the upgrade to the Solaris 9 9/05 release.

Workaround: Before you upgrade to the Solaris 9 9/05 release, use the Solaris Product Registry application to remove the Solaris 8 Languages Supplement CD packages.
