Package: localepurge
Version: 0.5.9-0.2
Severity: normal
localepurge tries to sanitize locale settings by exporting LANG=C. This
is incorrect, as LC_* variables take precedence over LANG. The correct
way to do this is to export LC_ALL=C.
Reference:
$ man -e posix locale | grep -A1 -B9 'override the values' | cut -c 8-
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
locale:
LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables
that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Vari‐
ables for the precedence of internationalization variables used
to determine the values of locale categories.)
LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all
the other internationalization variables.
