Bug#483646: bc: missing support for locale NOT A BUG

[Thomas Thomas]

If you read the POSIX specification, this is conformant behavior. POSIX 
specifies that the '.' is not localized to ',' so that there is no ambiguity in 
function calls, as in f(2,3,4). Please see

Bug#483646: bc: missing support for locale

[Finn-Arne Johansen]

Package: bc
Version: 1.06.94-3
Severity: wishlist

Norwegian uses , as decimal sign, and if you use the numeric keybad,
you get this where you in a US-keyboard get a .. This means that you
cant use only the numeric keypad to enter the numbers, you also have to
switch to the alphanumeric keyboard. Of course there are times where
I also value to be able to use . as decimal point, but then I could
just issue LANG=C.
