Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vsftpd
When vsftpd try to generate directory listing it users current locale
(maybe when running internal ls command), so other programs (like
Midnight Commander) cannot parse the date.
When /sbin/init launch /etc/init.d/vsftpd, all OK because it exports
LANG=C
When I restart vsftpd using command /etc/init.d/vsftpd, users can
connect, but cannot parse listing.
Wehn I restart vsftpd using command export LANG=C; /etc/init.d/vsftpd,
everything works fine.
Solution:
1. (The simple, but not fully correct) add export LANG=C before actually
starting daemon
2. Reset current locale in vsftpd
3. Handle locale especially at specific moments in daemon.
