Package: libct3
Version: 0.63-2
Severity: grave
Tags: l10n
Justification: renders package unusable


If the system locale is not set to "C", libct3 ignores the settings in
/etc/freetds/locale.conf. Respectively date and time values are returned
in a non standard way, compared to freetds installations on other
systems. This breaks a lot of installations which depend on a certain
datetime format, which in freetds is dependent on the language settings
in the connection.

This problem is due to some debian patches to the original sources.
Could you please change these patches in a way, that the whole locale
thing behaves like this:

- First check if there are settings in /etc/freetds/locale.conf
  -> if there are use these settings
  -> if there are no settings take the systems locale

Like this, backward compatibility to applications developed on debian is
granted AND applications which were developed using other distributions
would work as well.
