In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
* Unset LANG, LANGUAGE, and LC_ALL before running the testsuite.
This could use a bit of explanation. On the Ubuntu buildds, we don't
currently unset all the same LANG/LC bits that the Debian buildds do,
which is itself a bug, and we're rolling out a fix for that soon. That
said, I still consider it somewhat buggy when a package's testsuite is
too sensitive to the local environment, so I'd suggest this patch be
applied to cope with the idea that someone might build your package in
a suboptimal setup.
For the record, to reproduce the testsuite failures we were seeing, a
build done under "LANG=C LANGUAGE=en_GB: LC_ALL=C" would do the trick,
which was the broken env we had due to a sysadmin's LANGUAGE leaking
through.
