Title:
gdebi FTBFS when the locale is not en_US
Status in gdebi package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gdebi source package in Trusty:
In Progress
Status in gdebi package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
It's impossible to build gdebi from source with the locale other
than en_US in Trusty.
It had been fixed in gdebi 0.9.5.5, which is available in newer
releases, starting from Vivid. The backported fix can be applied
in Trusty.
The debdiff which is attached to this report contains the fix.
[Test Case]
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have some non-en_US locale currently set in your system.
I have ru_RU for example.
2. sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev devscripts build-essential
3. sudo apt-get build-dep gdebi
4. apt-get source gdebi
5. cd gdebi-0.9.5.3ubuntu2
6. debuild -us -uc
The build process will fail as shown in the first log attached
to this report.
[Regression Potential]
The patch only affects a test which is launched during the build,
it doesn't affect runtime at all. The test is passed successfully
with the patch. All the tests are independent from each other, so
the patch can't introduce any regressions to other tests.
[Original Description]
System: Xubuntu 14.04.
Current gdebi version: 0.9.5.3ubuntu2 (from trusty-updates).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have some non-en_US locale currently set in your system. I have ru_RU for
example.
2. sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev devscripts build-essential
3. sudo apt-get build-dep gdebi
4. apt-get source gdebi
5. cd gdebi-0.9.5.3ubuntu2
6. debuild -us -uc
The build process will fail as shown in the first attachment.
Now try the same with locale set to en_US (but do a cleanup first):
7. debuild clean
8. LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 debuild -us -uc
The build process will succeed as shown in the second attachment.
