Bug#991928: grub2: reproducible builds: embeds different strings depending on (obscure) locales

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: grub2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: locale
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

Some locales (e.g. potentially obscure locales used by reprotest) may
cause sort order issues in embedded strings in some of the grub-*.bin
binaries.


The attached patch fixes this by exporting LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 from
debian/rules.


There are still several other outstanding issues affecting the
reproducibility of grub2, but this should help reduce the differences to
troubleshoot the remaining issues.


Thanks for maintaining grub2!


live well,
