Not that many packages (a) emit errors when setlocale fails and (b) are called frequently in the course of a package upgrade. While I wouldn't object to fixing it at the cause, the workarounds are not really obnoxious or onerous, and I rather suspect that a true fix is a fair bit trickier than adding a handful of getenv conditionals. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
