Bug#961014: ifcplusplus: locale issue preventing to load any ifc file

[Harald Geyer]

Package: ifcplusplus
Version: 0~git20190402.13744d5+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to load several .ifc files (created from FreeCAD and ArchiCAD)
in SimpleViewerExample. All files fail to load and each time I get
this message:

Error: loadModelFromFile, setlocale failed

Warning: getLengthInMeterFactor, No length unit definition found in model

I believe, if ifcplusplus requires a specific locale to be available on
the system, then the package should make sure that this locale is
available.

Thanks for the work you put into BIM on debian!
Harald
