[Aptitude-devel] Bug#798617: aptitude after upgrade stopped to respect locale settings

[Lev Lamberov]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Dear Maintainer,

after upgrade to 0.7.1-1 version of aptitude it stopped to respest locale
settings. My default locale is ru_RU.UTF-8, but aptitude still is in English,
even if running it with

$ LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 aptitude

or any other environment variable. My current locale settings are:

$ locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Tried to reinstall aptitude, aptitude-common and locales, tried to
rebuild locales with

# dpkg-reconfigure locales

Nothing happens, aptitude is still in English. Other software, as I can see,
respects locale and is translated into Russian.

Regards,
Lev Lamberov
