Package: librrds-perl
Version: 1.2.27-2
Severity: grave
Tags: l10n
Justification: renders package unusable

RRDs perl module fails to use if locales set a decimal separator different to
'.'. In this case, the Spanish locales (es_ES.UTF-8) use ',' as a decimal
separator. DynLoader seems to compare on the left-hand side using a decimal
point, and on the right-hand side using the coma. This is what I get:

RRDs object version 1.2027 does not match bootstrap parameter 1,2027 at
/usr/lib/perl/5.8/DynaLoader.pm line 245.


The above bug is easily reproducible by running the following perl script:

use POSIX;
my $loc = POSIX::setlocale( &POSIX::LC_ALL, "es_ES.UTF-8" );
eval('use RRDs');
print "$@";
