Tim, absolutely superb - that worked very nicely :D
Not quite sure I understand why since I dont recognise that locale - some-sort of special "C language" unicode locale? - but it works so thats the main thing. Gianfranco, A new version of the package has been uploaded with Tim's suggestion. Tested by building in a Stretch chroot. In addition - as requested - the .installs have been simplified. I also doubled checked this and threw this up on a launchpad PPA. cheers David On 4 June 2017 at 22:15, Tim Dengel <tim.dengel.deb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi David, > > I haven't specifically looked into your issue and the build log doesn't > seem to be available anymore, but it sounds like you're having trouble > with meson being unable to deal with Unicode symbols inside a pbuilder > chroot. > I also have a package that builds with meson and had a FTBFS due to > Unicode support (gnome-twitch), although admittedly it is a much simpler > package than budgie.
