[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#823555: Despite the fact that I have org.gnome.Platform.Locale installed, I have issues when running Pitivi with LANG set to fr_FR.UTF-8

Package: xdg-app

Hi,

Following these instructions to install Pitivi daily bundle through 
xdg-app [1] and trying to run it, I get an error message relative locale 
despite the fact that org.gnome.Platform.Locale is installed :

"./pitivi-xdg-app

Running "$ LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 xdg-app run org.pitivi.Pitivi" also failed :

Running "$ xdg-app install --user gnome org.gnome.Platform.Locale 3.20" 
says :
"error: Runtime org.gnome.Platform.Locale, branch 3.20 is already installed"


See also the result of :
"$ xdg-app run --command=bash --filesystem=xdg-download org.pitivi.Pitivi
bash-4.3$ locale

Whereas running $ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 xdg-app run org.pitivi.Pitivi works 
(=Pitivi starts)


FWIW I'm running Linux HAL 4.5.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.5.2-1

Thanks !
