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.

locale (thank you,

Yes vcs --check will check it.
Thanks for the report.

That's fair.

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).
