Description Florian Best

Tracebacks enthalten oft � anstatt Umlauten/Sonderzeichen/UTF-8.

Es wäre schön, wenn das mal gefixt wird.

Ist das ggf. mit Bug 27256 behoben?

Nein

Given in latin-1 are:
* Messages from PAM
* Messages from python-apt
* OSError exceptions (e.g. errno 12, cannot allocate memory)

The UMC-Moduleprocess/Server only sets LC_MESSAGES but not LC_ALL:

>>> import os, locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_MESSAGES, 'de_DE.UTF-8')
'de_DE.UTF-8'
>>> os.strerror(12)
'Nicht gen?gend Hauptspeicher verf?gbar'
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8')
'de_DE.UTF-8'
>>> os.strerror(12)
'Nicht gen\xc3\xbcgend Hauptspeicher verf\xc3\xbcgbar'

I think it is the best to set:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C.UTF-8')

so, LC_COLLATE is still the same. (Just if scripts called by UMC depend on this).

Created attachment 6914 [details]
patch

small patch, only sets LC_CTYPE to minimize side effects.

"""
LC_CTYPE:
This category determines the interpretation of byte sequences as characters (e.g., single versus multibyte characters), character classifications (e.g., alphabetic or digit), and the behavior of character classes.

Could a similar issue be related to Bug 38370?
