Package: locales Version: 2.29-10 Severity: wishlist Apparently MacOS 10.15 uses "UTF-8" instead of "C.UTF-8". This affects ssh terminal sessions from MacOS to Debian, e.g.
# apt upgrade : : Processing triggers for mime-support (3.64) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.29-10) ... perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8", LC_COLLATE = "C", LANG = "C" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8", LC_COLLATE = "C", LANG = "C" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). The workaround is to run localedef -i C -f UTF-8 UTF-8 on Debian, but probably others are affected by this problem as well. A central solution would be reasonable. Do you think it would be possible to introduce "UTF-8" as an alias for "C.UTF-8"? Regards Harri
