Package: fakeroot
Version: 1.20-3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi,
(Forgot to send this earlier)
An user of fakeroot under a Dutch locale reported that fakeroot (and
fakeroot using apps) was broken under this locale:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fakeroot/+bug/1290069
This is because the fakeroot wrapper shell script attempts parsing of
the gettext --version output. One option would be to set locale to C
before parsing version output, but since the goal is to test whether
we have GNU getopt, and since there's a special -T flag to test this,
this is what the patch does.
(See attached debdiff and patch)
Cheers,
