Issue #11860 has been updated by Chris Price.

In a lot of cases, we are indeed parsing the output, and that was the general 
motivation for this.

It should be a very minor change to individual providers (e.g., gem provider) 
to do something better if needed; as for your custom java service, are you 
handling that with an Exec resource?  If so, you can manually specify 
environment variables in your manifest to get the behavior that you want.

We are definitely open to suggestions on improving this... but the behavior was 
driven by problems that had come up in the past without it, so our goal is to 
try to find the right balance.

Bug #11860: Puppet ovewriting the LANG environment variable.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11860#change-59559

Author: Marek Kroemeke
Status: Merged - Pending Release
Priority: Urgent
Assignee: Chris Price
Category: exec
Target version: Telly
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.0
Keywords: 
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/414


As far as I can see puppet is changing system's LANG environment variable - 
this causes unexpected bahaviour of applications that use this setting (as LANG 
is different when you run /etc/init.d/foo stop/start/restart, and different 
when service is restarted by puppet!).
