Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.1.8
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n

On my system, I've LANG=it_IT.UTF8 (to require localized italian settings in
general, such as currencies, date formats, etc.), but LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
(as I really can't stand translated help messages :-)).

As of recently (I suspect starting from version 0.1.8, which carries the
changelong line "improved internationalization"), apt-listbugs stopped handling
the above combination properly. In particular, apt-listbugs outputs localized
messages in italian, whereas it should not. Here's a simple aptitude session,
where apt-listbugs is invoked as the first apt-get hook:

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  zack@usha:~$ echo $LANG $LC_MESSAGES 
  it_IT.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
  zack@usha:~$ sudo aptitude -u
  [sudo] password for zack: 
  Recupero delle segnalazioni di bug... Fatto
  Analisi delle informazioni... Fatto        
  Reading changelogs... Done
  (Reading database ... 369717 files and directories currently installed.)
  […]
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, apt-listbugs ignores the LC_MESSAGES override, whereas dpkg
handles it properly.

Please modify apt-listbugs to properly handle LC_MESSAGES (and similar, if
applicable) overrides.

Many thanks for maintaining apt-listbugs,
Cheers.
