Hi Erich,
thanks for supervising the bug reporting here. I think everyone (except a few..) appreciate people like you who take the time out of their day to put effort towards maintain a project like this. :)

Regarding the bug: It has been outlined pretty clearly what needs to be
done in order for this bug to appear. Install a fresh copy of (in this
case) Kubuntu, and change the Region (under System Settings -> Regional
Settings -> Formats -> Region) from English to something else, and your
locale breaks immediately. In my case, the variables "LC_ALL",
"LC_CTYPE" and "LC_MESSAGE" were unset in the /etc/default/locale file,
resulting in a lot of program errors (Anki reported a broken UTF-8 and
would crash before being able to start in my case).

I could report this bug upstream if you don't want to do that or if
that's not your "job"/task, but I'm not sure how to do that. What would
be the next upstream package to report to even?
