It can still happen in some corner cases, even on Debian and Ubuntu where C.UTF-8 is available and e.g. my desktop defaults to en_US.UTF-8. For example, in an sbuild/schroot environment[*], the default locale is C and I've seen package build failures because of this. There may be other such "corner case" environments where this happens too. Cheers, -Barry [*] Where sbuild/schroot is a very common suite of package building tools.
