locales - error: Bad entry 'kab_DZ ' #90

Description

@athmanemokraoui

mintlocale incorrectly writes malformed locale entries to /var/lib/locales/supported.d/mintlocale.

When installing locales, it duplicates entries:

  • one bare locale name without charset
  • and one properly formatted.

For example, for Kabyle (kab_DZ), it writes :

kab_DZ / Malformed: missing charset
kab_DZ.UTF-8 UTF-8 / Correct format

The bare entries cause locale-gen to emit multiple "error: Bad entry" warnings:

...
error: Bad entry 'ar_IN '
error: Bad entry 'ar_SS '
error: Bad entry 'en_AG '
error: Bad entry 'en_IL '
error: Bad entry 'en_IN '
error: Bad entry 'en_NG '
error: Bad entry 'en_ZM '
error: Bad entry 'kab_DZ '
error: Bad entry 'sw_KE '
error: Bad entry 'sw_TZ '
error: Bad entry 'zgh_MA '
...

Although generation succeeds, these warnings clutter output and indicate incorrect data handling.
