Package: perl Version: 5.28.1-6 Severity: important As discussed in #924657, glibc has a cache of already loaded translations that gets invalidated (by incrementing _nl_msg_cat_cntr) in setlocale(3), bindtextdomain(3) and textdomain(3) but not uselocale(3).
Starting with Perl 5.28, Perl uses POSIX 2008 thread-safe locales, so it calls uselocale(3) underneath when the Perl side POSIX::setlocale() function is invoked. This makes gettext think that a translation for the new locale is already loaded when it really corresponds to the old locale. While this is a 5.28 regression for Perl, it's not clear to me whether glibc is working correctly here or not. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org
