Hi, forwarding this here in case there are other Fink packages where this has become an issue (the package in question is on https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/package-submissions/4396/):

If this is a more common problem, maybe it makes sense to add something like SetLC_XXX: fields to the package description (or perhaps even have Fink always set sane defaults). But otoh in the fink build the issue was not LC_CTYPE being set to UTF-8 but rather being not set at all, and this problem might be more specific to astropy. In that case it’s perhaps better to just use the workaround until this is resolved upstream.
