Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.9.12-11
Severity: minor

running libvirtd on a system without locales specified on LC_*, libvirtd won't start.

# strace libvirtd
[snip]
open("/usr/lib/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/locale/en_US/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/locale/en.UTF-8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/locale/en.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/locale/en/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "libvirtd: initialization failed\n", 32libvirtd: initialization failed
) = 32
exit_group(1)                           = ?

i think libvirt-bin should depend on locales

thanks
