Hello Stefano, thanks for your kind bug report. I understand your setup (and the rationale behind it...). I assume you have LC_ALL unset. > > As of recently (I suspect starting from version 0.1.8, which carries the > changelong line "improved internationalization"), apt-listbugs stopped > handling > the above combination properly.

The "improved internationalization" change you are referring to is actually: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=apt-listbugs/apt-listbugs.git;a=commitdiff;h=eb856ed4deada33fd326590c356d26607f2c214e I don't think it can alter anything with respect to the locale environment variable handling. I have even reviewed all the commits from apt-listbugs/0.1.7 to apt-listbugs/0.1.8 and I haven't spotted anything that could be blamed for this behavior change. > Here's a simple aptitude session, > where apt-listbugs is invoked as the first apt-get hook: > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > zack@usha:~$ echo $LANG $LC_MESSAGES > it_IT.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 > zack@usha:~$ sudo aptitude -u > [sudo] password for zack: > Recupero delle segnalazioni di bug...

I can't see anything in apt-listbugs *itself* that directly handles locale environment variables. I believe that this "dirty work" is delegated to the ruby-gettext library. I am consequently reassigning your bug report to the ruby-gettext package. I hope that the maintainers of ruby-gettext will manage to investigate and fix this regression soon. > > Many thanks for maintaining apt-listbugs, You're welcome: I am glad to contribute to Debian.
