[Bug 1314660] Re: crashes when setlocale fails

[Brian Murray]

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-properties into trusty-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/software-properties/0.92.37.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu Trusty)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Title:
  crashes when setlocale fails

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “software-properties” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in “software-properties” source package in Utopic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If setlocale("C.UTF-8") fails the software-propoerties-dbus backend fails as well,
  see https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/70c1930688440b1818145db3346da61eb39a7ac8?

  Test case:- I don't know how to make C.UTF-8 a invalid locale so a
  regression test is enough (the crash is pretty rare too)

  Also watching the errors bucket to ensure the crash does not occur
  with the proposed package should help.
