Description:   Opened: 2005-06-19 09:50 0000
The init script of mrtg sets LANG=C if LANG=*utf8 in order to make mrtg start.
The script does, however, miss the case where LANG=*UTF-8 (with a dash):

# set | grep LANG
LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
# /etc/init.d/mrtg start
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Mrtg will most likely not work properly when the environment
       variable LANG is set to UTF-8. Please run mrtg in an environment
       where this is not the case. Try the following command to start:

       env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg --check /etc/mrtg.conf 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Starting mrtg ...                                                      [ ok
]
