Package: btop
Version: 1.2.7-1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
the use of locale by the program is not fully consistent.
The line "Load AVG:" is correct. I.e.:
$ LANG=C btop --utf-force
prints "Load AVG: 0.43 0.54 0.70" with dots ".";
$ LANG=eo btop --utf-force
prints "Load AVG: 0,43 0,54 0,70", the same with commas ",".
Correct.
The size of memory or disks does not respect locale. E.g.:
$ LANG=C btop --utf-force
prints "72.9 Mi" or "1.86 GiB" with dots ".";
$ LANG=eo btop --utf-force
also prints "72.9 Mi" or "1.86 GiB", again with dots ".",
it should be with commas ",".
But the more important issue arises when the terminal size is small
and the program uses shorter forms. E.g.:
$ LANG=eo btop --utf-force
with a large terminal size prints "1.86 GiB", with dot;
the same value, with a small terminal size is printed as "1,0G",
with comma.
The problem is the digit: ",0" instead of ",9".
With LANG=C the program correctly prints "1.9G".

Closing issue in Debian as this is an upstream bug. I am not filing a
bug upstream myself as I didn't encounter this. If the issue still
exists, please file a bug upstream. Thanks!
