Well this “bug report” has turned somewhat philosophical, again due the nature of the times quite naturally! It’s useful to have these comments on the public record as far as I’m concerned, so I’m actually glad that the discussion here on this “bug report” is taking place. So I am changing the

2022-03-17 Thread Rob Savoury
Pieter, it's quite simple, FFmpeg 5 needs to be rebuilt against the new libx264-164 and I have been well aware of this for weeks. However, due FFmpeg 5 not being used by any other PPAs at my site it is not a priority. Also, in all likelihood the entire project that I've spent 2.5 years working on

2021-10-17 Thread Rob Savoury
OK, so it DOESN'T work for me when using a custom configfile. Putting "export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8" into that custom config file and starting the pbuilder build results in the same "LC_ALL=C" still being set, although other LC_* env vars are now set to "C.UTF-8". So although it might be INTENDED to work

2021-10-17 Thread Rob Savoury
So any use of a config file does not actually allowing setting LANG/LC_ALL for the dpkg-buildpackage invocation. Already in use on my personal build system is a detailed $HOME/.pbuilderrc config file and adding LANG/LC_ALL exports to this file did not affect the used locales for the actual build.

[Bug 1947424] [NEW] Cannot set pbuilder build locale

2021-10-15 Thread Rob Savoury
Public bug reported: The build locale cannot be set with pbuilder and always defaults to "C" (for both LANG and LC_ALL on Launchpad builds) rather than to "C.UTF-8" as used by sbuild for all official Debian and Ubuntu builds. This causes FTBFS of various packages that depend on the correct locale

An update is that this seems to be due the fact that only root has permissions to /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/90ubuntu-advantage which is evidently the critical file required to authenticate with the Ubuntu ESM servers. Running "sudo apt-get source" instead does work. So perhaps this is how the
