Bug 439108 – sys-firmware/seabios-1.7.0 LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 fails because ./tools/layoutrom.py screenscrapes objdump output

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Anton Suvorov 2012-10-20 21:46:10 UTC]

sys-firmware/seabios-1.7.0 failed to build due to localization(on my system LC_ALL is set to ru_RU.UTF-8), the python script "./tools/layoutrom.py" screenscapes objdump that's the problem. Also emailed bug to developers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set LC_ALL to somthing non-english
2. emerge seabios
3.
Actual Results:  
build failed

Expected Results:  
build successful

ebuild just sets LC_ALL=C instead of LANG=C

We explicitly say that setting LC_ALL is not supported due to the inability to override any other LC_ or LANG variables. Please read the localization guide:
