Package: kwalletcli
Version: 3.03-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
kwalletcli provides /usr/bin/ssh-askpass alternative called
/usr/bin/kwalletaskpass.
This shell-script is executed using mksh and in order to enforce a UTF-8 locale
for
Qt, on line 24 the script does
export LANG=C LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
which is a problem for two reasons. First, is en_US.UTF-8 is not available, it
will
output a confusing error message
W: /usr/bin/kwalletaskpass[24]: setlocale: No such file or directory
and second, it should not hard-code a locale like that in the first place.
Right before line 24, the script reads
unset LC_ALL LANGUAGE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES \
LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT LC_IDENTIFICATION
regardless of whether LC_ALL was an acceptable UTF-8 locale, which could have
been used instead of the hard-coded en_US.UTF-8.
A fix here should do two things:
1. Install the helper (or function, or whatever it is supposed to be) called
"setlocale" or depend on a package which provides it (currently there is no
package in Debian sid or trixie that provides such a program in PATH)
2. Inspect the existing environment for an acceptable UTF-8 locale already set
and use that instead (presumably any UTF-8 locale would suffice, so if one
is currenly in use, it should be used).
Best,
Juha
