PS: #631081 has a word about this, which makes sense: > - we obviously don't want to drop LANG and LC_* because we want the user > to use his native language parameters
So here's my proposed patch:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
-if dpkg-divert --list | grep -q "/usr/bin/pidgin.orig by pidgin-sipe"
+if LANG=C dpkg-divert --list | grep -q "/usr/bin/pidgin.orig by pidgin-sipe"
then
dpkg-divert --remove --package pidgin-sipe --rename \
--divert /usr/bin/pidgin.orig /usr/bin/pidgin
fi
exit 0
