In ticket #276, the LANG environment variable was set in sage-env (to
en_US.UTF-8) and in ticket #2513, this was undone. On my box, the
following doctest failure was a consequence:
{{{
sage -t -long "devel/sage/sage/interfaces/r.py"
**********************************************************************
File "/Users/Shared/sage/sage-4.0.2/devel/sage/sage/interfaces/r.py", line
554:
sage: r.library('foobar')
Expected:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ImportError: there is no package called 'foobar'
Got nothing

840:
sage: r.completions('tes')

Got:
['testPlatformEquivalence', 'testPlatformEquivalence', 'testVirtual',
'testVirtual']
**********************************************************************
2 items had failures:
1 of 5 in __main__.example_17
1 of 3 in __main__.example_34
***Test Failed*** 2 failures.

/Users/Shared/sage/sage-4.0.2/tmp/.doctest_r.py
[6.3 s]
}}}
I have *none* of the usual "locale" variables set (LANG, LC_ALL, ...) but
nevertheless R is clever enough to detect that I might want read its
messages in german. (It's using some Mac OS feature, I think.) But
unfortunately the Sage code did parse for english key-words in the R
messages.
Anyway, the above doctest failure could be triggered by anyone by issuing
e.g. "export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" just before running the doctest.
