[ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
* d/local/usr_sbin/update-locale: improve sanity checks. (LP: #1892825)
[ Aurelien Jarno ]
* debian/debhelper.in/libc.preinst: drop the check
Verified that the new version does not generated bogus lines on bionic:
root@lp-1892825-bionic:~# cp /etc/default/locale /tmp/locale
root@lp-1892825-bionic:~# update-locale --locale-file /tmp/locale LANG = C.UTF-8
root@lp-1892825-bionic:~# diff -u /etc/default/locale /tmp/locale

Hello bs, or anyone else affected,
Accepted glibc into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.27-3ubuntu1.6
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
This was fixed in devel (and with that jammy) through the upload of
glibc 2.35-0ubuntu1, even if it wasn't mentioned in d/changelog. So
marking as fixed.

@Michael: I could easily reproduce the issue at the time (a year ago).
Good that it's about to be fixed. As you can see in comment #2 I first
turned to Debian, but the response was a bit disappointing. Any chance
that you can handle this on the Debian side too?

Adding a pam task, pam_env does some sanity checking of the input (e.g.
%=1 in /etc/default/locale gets ignored) so I don't see why an empty
variable name should cause a total failure. But will fix the update-
locale script too.

It would be nice to merge something, the failure case listed above is pretty
nasty.
Please see the launchpad MP, I have a suggestion.
