Package: lintian Version: 2.5.1 Severity: normal Currently, lintian depends on locales, and its maintainer scripts generate an en_US.UTF-8 locale. libc-bin 2.13-1 and newer now provides a C.UTF-8 locale, which should serve the same purpose. Please consider adding a versioned dependency on libc-bin (>= 2.13-1), dropping the dependency on locales, and changing en_US.UTF-8 to C.UTF-8 elsewhere in lintian.
On my system, no package other than lintian depends on locales. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.21.53.20110729-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii diffstat 1.54-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii file 5.04-5+b1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.18.1.1-3 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24+b2 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libclass-accessor-per 0.34-1 Perl module that automatically gen ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.0.3 Dpkg perl modules ii libemail-valid-perl 0.184-1 Perl module for checking the valid ii libipc-run-perl 0.90-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchange 1.2.0-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 collection of modules to manipulat ii liburi-perl 1.58-1 module to manipulate and access UR ii locales 2.13-12 Embedded GNU C Library: National L ii man-db 2.6.0.2-2 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-p 5.12.4-2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii unzip 6.0-5 De-archiver for .zip files lintian recommends no packages.
