[Olivier Berger]

Package: torbrowser-launcher
Version: 0.3.2-11
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I'm launching torbrowser-launcher from a shell, I get :

$ locale
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Téléchargement https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_3/release/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/x/en-US

Which terminates immediately without doing anything else... not starting
torbrowser :-/

When removing the locale, it works, with :

LANG=C torbrowser-launcher

Which opens torbrowser.

Hope this helps,
