Bug#796152: liblocale-gettext-perl: FTBFS on reproducible.debian.net: test failures

[Chris Lamb]

Hi all,

I looked into this for some time yesterday but I didn't file a bug for
reasons outlined below, as well as not being able to provide a patch...

So, I could reliably reproduce the failure yesterday in the following
case:

 - System has fr_CH.UTF-8 generated
 - LANG is not exported
 - "fr_CH" exported as LC_MESSAGES (NB. no UTF-8 suffix)

However:

 a) This prints a bunch of "perl: warning: Setting locale failed."
 warnings that are not visible on reproducible.net

 b) This is a little *too* contrived for my liking..

(Just throwing that in here as this bug was filed.)


Regards,
