Title:
Info segfaults on open when LANG=pt-BR
Status in texinfo package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in texinfo source package in Jammy:
Triaged
Status in texinfo package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Impact
-------
The common CLI help utility info doesn't work for systems where the language
is set to Brazilian
Test Case
--------
Open a terminal and run these 2 commands:
sudo apt install language-pack-pt
LANGUAGE=pt_BR info
The commands should complete without error. You can press q to exit
info.
What Could Go Wrong
--------------------
This is a double fix. First we fix the broken Brazilian translation. That
actually won't fix the bug because we use language packs and those are
generally only updated just before the LTS point releases (months from now).
Next we cherry pick a fix from upstream to not crash when there is an
error in the translations like this.

Original Bug Report
--------------------
When using my default locale info segfaults on open:
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
Core was generated by `info'.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

if I do LC_ALL=C info then it opens normally. It seems the translation
string is not matching some positional parameter in the original
string, but I didn't check that far.
