This was introduced with bug #534300 when service was introduced in 2009 with LANG passed to init.d scripts, and #606875 which is a request to also pass the rest of LC_* when LANG is passed on. I believe either we pass LANG and LC_*, or we do not. Do not have strong opinions either way, but only passing LANG without passing the rest of LC_* seem like an obvious bug to me. Personally, I believe the init.d script should fix the locale settings (for example using LC_ALL=C) if the service change behaviour based on locale settings. Is it possible to come up with a setup that pleases everyone? Or are the truly conflicting needs here? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
