Hi!
While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that apertium-en-ca (as well as other apertium-*-* packages) could not
be built reproducibly.
The problem is that these packages try to run localedef to compile
files for the en_US.UTF-8 locale in a nonstandard directory. This is
problematic because localedef needs the locales package to work, but
"Build-Depends: locales" isn't guaranteed to install locales if
locales-all is already installed (because locales-all contains
"Provides: locales" in its control file) and locales-all isn't good
enough for localedef. The solution is to simply build-depend on
locales-all instead of locales and use the locale files in the default
location; here is a patch to do that. (While the patch is against the
apertium-en-ca source package, essentially identical patches should be
applied to the other apertium-*-* packages as well.)
