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?
