Package: vnstat
Version: 1.10-0.1
Severity: minor
New version of vnstat introduces --locale option, which is responsible
on data presentation - it mostly deals with datas.
Default config file states that locale to use are '-', which means "use
system default". But it seems not to working.

As you can see, my default locales are pl_PL.UTF-8. But vnstat without
--locale option specified and with it outputs dates in completely
different format.
I am not programmer, so I could not find where the bug is. I thought
that maybe vnstat reads config only once, while starting the deamon
(and locale are set to C at that time, and are changed later), but
adding LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8 to /etc/init.d/vnstat and restarting the
daemon does not changes anything.
Maybe this is not a bug at all and I just misunderstand vnstat
funcionality. But I think that - if vnstat is able to change locale at
run time - it should do it as user expects, and right now it does not.
