[pkg-lua-devel] Bug#969412: lua-cjson: JSON floats may break w/ German locale

[Matthias Urlichs]

Package: lua-cjson
Version: 2.1.0+dfsg-2.1
Severity: important

German locale specifies the comma to be used as the decimal "point".
Unfortunately lua-cjson checks for that quite early and doesn't consider
later locale changes.

Also, it only replaces the comma but doesn't consider locales what use
different digits.

The solution is to build this library with -DUSE_INTERNAL_FPCONV.
