I agree this is a problem, it's an old bug and in fact you'll see a lot of reports about "locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid" exception thrown by boost - see e.g. the last comment here https://github.com/udoprog/c10t/issues/203
There is nothing we can do at the level it surfaces (scoperegistry in this case) as it aborts the creation of most basic objects we need, so we cannot just catch and ignore it. This problem also manifests itself in unity8-dash (I'm sure it hit it too with your broken locale setup) and the best we could do there was to just prevent the restart-loop of unity8-dash (and leave the dash empty as we cannot instantiate scopes runtime with broken locale). I'm really not sure what more we can do. Adding boost to the bug. ** Also affects: boost (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: github.com/udoprog/c10t/issues #203 https://github.com/udoprog/c10t/issues/203 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615614 Title: dash is empty, scopes are missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost/+bug/1615614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
