I'm glad to help! The patch it's pretty simple. The following test started failing recently: test "`echo asseoir | $(LU) ./french-conjugator | grep asseyerai,`" = "assiérai, asseyerai, assoirai" So, why did it started failing just now and no before? I did some research and the guilty turned out to be an update in the grep package, as it slightly changed its behaviour. With the new update, grep will detect the input as binary if it's in a different locale than the one it's currently running in. When this happens, grep will just output "binary file matches" instead of the line that matches the pattern, provoking a failure in the test. Now, if you see the build log, the environment variable LU expands to LIBDATADIR=../../data LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8. That means, that no matter what, french-conjugator will produce its stdout with that encoding. So grep have to use the same encoding, and that's why I set up those variables in the override. Now, we can't assume that the encoding is installed on the build machine, so that's why I generate the locale. Piece of cake! Cheers, Rul
