--- Begin Message ---Package: libc6 Version: 2.35-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable X-Debbugs-Cc: kos...@debian.org Dear maintainer, After upgrading to libc6 2.35-1 (or 2.36-1 in experimental), nonexistent locale setting starts to crash the system. This is dangerous because a remote system might not always have the same locale installed. An auto update will soft-brick the system unless the sysadmin knows to set their LC_ALL=POSIX before attempting to ssh. Steps to reproduce: >From a clean installed Debian sid, upgrade to libc6 2.35-1. Only install C locale and en_US.UTF-8. $ LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 bash bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (ja_JP.UTF-8) Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 gdb bash Fatal signal: Segmentation fault ----- Backtrace ----- 0x55ed3e1e8dcf ??? 0x55ed3e2df312 ??? 0x55ed3e2df488 ??? 0x7f0b4a39ba9f ??? 0x7f0b4b412204 _rl_init_locale 0x7f0b4b4122f1 _rl_init_eightbit 0x7f0b4b3f10f2 rl_initialize ... snip ... Downgrade to 2.34-8 seems also don't fix the issue, probably some locale state was invalidated when upgrading.
