[Bug 1314660] Re: crashes when setlocale fails

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

- If setlocale("C.UTF-8") fails the software-propoerties-dbus backend fails as well, 
+ 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)
+ 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.
