Bug#950437: garcon: encoding of .directory files differs depending on locale

When built with the C locale, some files differ from when built with a
UTF-8 locale, such as xfce-screensavers.directory:

Icon=preferences-desktop-screensaver
Name=Screensavers
Name[am]=መመልከቻ·​ማዳኛ      
Name[ar]=حافظات·​الشاشة  
Name[ast]=Curiapantal​les        
Name[be]=Ахоўнікі·​экра

The encoding of the file also varies.

The attached patch works around this by exporting LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 in
debian/rules, ensuring all builds use a UTF-8 locale.


Thanks for maintaining garcon.


live well,
