Package: bear
Version: 2.3.7-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
A recent update to bear has caused execution of any subprocess to
fail on my system:
> bear sh -c /bin/echo
bear: newlocale: No such file or directory
It seems this is caused by an inability to load the "en_US.UTF-8"
locale which is not installed on my system (see libear/ear.c:434).
It looks like this has been already been reported, and fixed
upstream in [this
commit](https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear/commit/b5d831ea158a8eff0b5dcb3d863e0046528189e6)
Without this commit it seems like any user of `bear` will have to have
en_US.UTF-8 installed.
Is there any possibilty debian can backport this fix, or do a
version bump?
All the Best
Luke
