Package: locales
Version: 2.7-18
Severity: normal
Several ruby applications in squeeze try to set LANG="en", which isn't
a valid locale name. Affected applications include apt-listbugs 0.0.95
and sup-mail 0.6-4. Ruby is ruby1.8 1.8.7.72-3.
For example, sympthoms when running apt-listbugs:
$ sudo apt-listbugs list ruby1.8
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
Reading package fields... Done
Reading package status... Done
...
Stracing shows that ruby does this: "LANG=en locale charmap"
$ LANG=en locale charmap
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
ANSI_X3.4-1968
...while the correct answer for my system would be UTF-8.
I fixed it for myself by adding "en en_US.UTF-8" to my
/etc/locale.alias, but manual tweaking like this shouldn't be
necessary. I'm not sure in which package the issue should be fixed.

Version: 0.1.0
Hi!
I am one of apt-listbugs co-maintainers.
I've just seen that this bug has been reassigned to apt-listbugs.
If I understand correctly from the bug log, the issue does not seem to
affect the current (unstable/testing) version of apt-listbugs, that is
to say, version 0.1.0 .
Actually, I recursively grepped through apt-listbugs source code and
failed to find any LANG or "en" occurrence.
Hence, I am marking this bug as fixed in version 0.1.0 .
Feel free to reopen the bug report, if what I wrote above should turn
out to be incorrect.
Bye.
