Fresh install of SpiralLinux Cinnamon 12.231008 release.

There are a few errors when switching to the Testing branch.

1: modified system language

I selected German as the system language during installation. After switching to the testing branch, the system language changed to English. In addition, after the reboot a dialog appeared to adjust the folder names (from German to English).

2: error with locales

At the end of the process to switch to the Testing branch this error occurs:

update-locale: Unable to write /etc/locale.conf: Too many levels of symbolic links
dpkg: error processing package locales (--configure):
 installed locales package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 40
Processing triggers for man-db (2.11.2-3) ...
Errors were entcountered while processing:
 locales
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I removed the package and reinstalled it: The error remains the same.

3: gnome-terminal not working

Another effect is that gnome-terminal stops working.

I installed terminator as an alternative and tried to run gnome-terminal from there.

Result (after waiting 25 seconds):

user@thinkpad:~$ gnome-terminal
# Error contructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached

On the other hand: It works with sudo gnome-terminal

Maybe it has something to do with the adjustments in the SpiralLinux 12.231005 release regarding systemlink and language support?
