So any use of a config file does not actually allowing setting LANG/LC_ALL for the dpkg-buildpackage invocation. Already in use on my personal build system is a detailed $HOME/.pbuilderrc config file and adding LANG/LC_ALL exports to this file did not affect the used locales for the actual build. When looking at the pbuilder-buildpackage script LANG/LC_ALL are both explicitly exported as "C" at the beginning of this main build script. This clearly makes any attempts to set them for the actual dpkg-buildpackage invocation fail.
Based on the above that is why the solution of adding two new variables BUILD_LANG and BUILD_LC_ALL was chosen, as these do not then conflict with the explicit exports in pbuilder-buildpackage. Given that I have not had time to debug all implications of changing those explicit exports in the main build script (and what changing them might potentially break) adding two new distinctly named variables was an easy and workable solution. Also, I wouldn't really call this a "wishlist" bug due the fact that without addressing the issue of the locale exports in the pbuilder package one way or another it makes it impossible to actually use the same locale as for all official sbuild Debian and Ubuntu builds. This seems to be a serious limitation to me actually, as I've stated in the patch preamble. Perhaps Jessica's suggestion of simply changing the two explicit exports in pbuilder-buildpackage to the same as used for official builds (ie. to "C.UTF-8") is a good one, but that would obviously require debugging the whole script to prevent possible breakage. In any case, the patched version that I've uploaded to my Launchpad build-tools PPA (ppa:savoury1/build-tools) works exactly as intended for anyone who actually does want a pbuilder that is capable of setting the locale for the actual build process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1947424 Title: Cannot set pbuilder build locale To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pbuilder/+bug/1947424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
