I set up a Vcs install in another machine today, and I ran into a new problem : ~/src/nolimips % vcs-svn status vcs: error: command: svn status -- vcs: error: exit: 1 vcs: error: stderr: svn: error: cannot set LC_ALL locale vcs: error: stderr: svn: error: environment variable LC_ALL is en_US vcs: error: stderr: svn: error: please check that your locale name is correct vcs: error: command failed However, after the installation of fresh new en_US locale (thank you, dpkg-reconfigure!), the error vanished. Does this means that Vcs has a dependency on a en_US locale? (`vcs --check' doesn't mention it, BTW.)

Yes there is an issue with locales. The problem is: - Vcs cannot parse the subversion output with any locale. - The locale LC_ALL=C has stranges behaviors. - The locale en_US works fine but must be installed.
However, after the installation of fresh new en_US locale (thank you, dpkg-reconfigure!), the error vanished.

Yes vcs --check will check it. Thanks for the report. -- Nicolas Pouillard aka Ertai <ertai@feydakins.org> http://uttk.org Uttk -- Unified Test Tool Kit

Bur that's rather strange! The C locale is meant to be the default one, and should always behave correctly, shouldn't it? It is always present and a program should not depend on a specific locale. Do you remember the issues you had with the C locale? Maybe we/one can help you fix them and use it instead of a en_US locale (remember that the user may not have the right permissions to install such a locale).
