** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ It's impossible to build gdebi from source with the locale other
+ than en_US in Trusty.
+ 
+ It had been fixed in gdebi 0.9.5.5, which is available in newer
+ releases, starting from Vivid. The backported fix can be applied
+ in Trusty.
+ 
+ The debdiff which is attached to this report contains the fix.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 
+ 1. Have some non-en_US locale currently set in your system.
+    I have ru_RU for example.
+ 2. sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev devscripts build-essential
+ 3. sudo apt-get build-dep gdebi
+ 4. apt-get source gdebi
+ 5. cd gdebi-0.9.5.3ubuntu2
+ 6. debuild -us -uc
+ 
+ The build process will fail as shown in the first log attached
+ to this report.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ The patch only affects a test which is launched during the build,
+ it doesn't affect runtime at all. The test is passed successfully
+ with the patch. All the tests are independent from each other, so
+ the patch can't introduce any regressions to other tests.
+ 
+ [Original Description]
+ 
  System: Xubuntu 14.04.
  Current gdebi version: 0.9.5.3ubuntu2 (from trusty-updates).
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Have some non-en_US locale currently set in your system. I have ru_RU for 
example.
  2. sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev devscripts build-essential
  3. sudo apt-get build-dep gdebi
  4. apt-get source gdebi
  5. cd gdebi-0.9.5.3ubuntu2
  6. debuild -us -uc
  
  The build process will fail as shown in the first attachment.
  
  Now try the same with locale set to en_US (but do a cleanup first):
  
  7. debuild clean
  8. LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 debuild -us -uc
  
  The build process will succeed as shown in the second attachment.
