Bug#1130861: In German locale, gnome-calculator can't cope with the decimal separator in currency conversion (4th attempt to submit the bug report)

Package: gnome-calculator
Version: 1:48.1-2+b1

With LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 and GDM_LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, run gnome-calculator 
from an xterm, open the currency conversion, and set the source currency 
to Britische Pfund Sterling (GBP) and the target currency to Euro (EUR). 
Now, enter the digit 1 into the field for the source amount. You'll see 
some nonzero rate (in my case, 1.14…) in the target field. Then, type in 
the decimal separator, be it either the comma or the point. In either 
case, you'd see 0 in the target field. Instead, you should see the same 
rate as before (in my case, 1.14…) in the target field, as 1=1. . 
Continuing typing in digits doesn't change the zero.

The bug doesn't occur if you run `LANG=en_GB.utf8 gnome-calculator` or 
`LANG=en_US.utf8 gnome-calculator` from an xterm.

Please fix this!

Gratefully
Pater
