Package: openerp-server
Version: 5.0.12-2
Severity: important
If the server process's environment does not have a locale set
database creation fails. This may be the root cause of #587946 .
When you try to create a database the following exception with
traceback is generated:-
DEBUG:exception:u'expected string or buffer'
DEBUG:traceback:'Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/pyshared/openerp-server/netsvc.py", line 247, in dispatch

File "/usr/share/pyshared/openerp-server/netsvc.py", line 76, in __call__
return getattr(self, method)(*params)

if re.search(\'utf|UTF\', locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]):
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/re.py", line 142, in search
return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string)
TypeError: expected string or buffer\n'
We can confirm this is a local problem by looking at the result
of locale.getdefaultlocale() in different environments.

This could be fixed by forcing a LANG= setting in the init script , or
a patch like the one that follows.
