I don't think scopes API can do anything here. It can't fiddle with the locale because that's a process-wide attribute.
We just propagate the exception up the caller, so the crash would appear to happen because the dash doesn't handle the exception when it initializes the runtime. It seems this really is a unity8-dash bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-api in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1363946 Title: unity8-dash crashed with SIGABRT in qt_message_fatal() under incorrect locale Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: unity8-dash gets into a respawn loop when the selected locale is unavailable.
