Caused by one or more sys_choice record that has Label that make use of "Packages.com.glide.sys.GlideLocale" call.

For example:

Label: javascript:'System (' + Packages.com.glide.sys.GlideLocale.get().getCurrent().getCountry() + ')'

Resolution

---

1) Navigate to sys_choice.list and find any Label that contains "Packages.com.glide.sys.GlideLocale"

2) For the records that are returned from the search above, replace "Packages.com.glide.sys.GlideLocale" with just "GlideLocale"

For example from:

javascript:'System (' + Packages.com.glide.sys.GlideLocale.get().getCurrent().getCountry() + ')'

To:

javascript:'System (' + GlideLocale.get().getCurrent().getCountry() + ')'

 

The use of "Packages.com.glide.sys.GlideLocale" is no longer allowed and hence the error message being thrown.
