Package: liblocale-ruby1.8
Version: 2.0.5-2
Severity: normal
Locale.current= doesn't check the param, so code like
bak = Locale.current
Locale.current = 'C'
#...something that needs locale C
Locale.current = bak
GetText.gettext("string")
fails with the mysterious
#<NoMethodError: undefined method `downcase' for [#<Locale::Tag::Posix:
en_US.UTF-8>]:Loca

Because tag/simple.rb:intialize calls
@language = @language.downcase if @language
@region = @region.upcase if @region
expecting them to be strings, but because of the Locale.current =
Locale.current, @language is Locale::Tag::Posix .
This simple patch to locale.rb: set_current seems to fix it:
