Package: install-info
Version: 6.8-6+b1
Because update-info-dir unsets (and unexports) LANGUAGE and LANG settings and
only sets a shell variable by importing /etc/default/locale, locale is not set.
There's two major things that seem to be an issue
1. export them.
2. also handle LC_ALL (and other LC_ variables) which tends to overrride
LANGUAGE/LANG variables.
Suggested change:

Export locale variables so that they actually take effect.
