The issue is discussed in https://cfengine.org/pipermail/help-
cfengine/2008-February/002960.html
The conclusion apparently was/is, that Debian changed the command to execute.
Quoting from
the linked post:
START QUOTE
Here's an excerpt from the Debian Etch
(backports) patch [2] against cfengine:
@@ -753,7 +753,7 @@
}
/* check what version is installed on the system (if any) */
-snprintf (VBUFF, CF_BUFSIZE, "/usr/bin/apt-cache policy %s", package);
+snprintf (VBUFF, CF_BUFSIZE, "LANG=C /usr/bin/apt-cache policy %s",
package);
if ((pp = cfpopen (VBUFF, "r")) == NULL)
{
So, what has been done here is to change the command line from
something simple that popen can handle, to having a environmental var
defined, but the author of this distro patch has *not* changed the
following cfpopen line to cfpopen_sh to match his change directly above.
END QUOTE
S, to fix the problem, apparently the cfpopen needs to be changed to
a cfpopen_sh, such that the shell is invoked to handle the LANG=C
