Description

Version: Photon OS 3.0 Revision 3 Binaries (minimal.iso)

Whenever you finish an installation and get to setting the locale you get the error below. Weirdly, I cannot find where en_GB would be configured. Not in the m_locale
Screenshot_LookingFor_en_GB
module, not in the installer environment and not in the installed system.

Who can figure that one out?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the locale-selection failure during installation of Photon OS 3.0 Revision 3 from the minimal ISO. Inspect the m_locale module, installer environment, and installed system for the en_GB lookup; done means locale selection completes without the reported error.
