Title:
  gdebi FTBFS when the locale is not en_US

Status in gdebi package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gdebi package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  System: Xubuntu 14.04.
  Current gdebi version: 0.9.5.3ubuntu2 (from trusty-updates).

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have some non-en_US locale currently set in your system. I have ru_RU for example.
  2. sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev devscripts build-essential
  3. sudo apt-get build-dep gdebi
  4. apt-get source gdebi
  5. cd gdebi-0.9.5.3ubuntu2
  6. debuild -us -uc

  The build process will fail as shown in the first attachment.

  Now try the same with locale set to en_US (but do a cleanup first):

  7. debuild clean
  8. LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 debuild -us -uc

  The build process will succeed as shown in the second attachment.
