Package: iotop
Version: 0.4-2+squeeze1
Severity: normal
When invoked on a server that does not share my locale settings, iotop
simply refuses to launch until I force the locale to something that exists
on the system.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/iotop", line 16, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/iotop/ui.py", line 506, in main
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 513, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
letting the application crash because of unknown locale should not be a good
default.
instead it should default to C
I believe this behaviour is related to python's locale module's behaviour,
and the locale.Error exception should be catched when calling _setlocale so that
iotop can default to the "C" locale when it is not able to set the correct one.
