[Bug 1947424] [NEW] Cannot set pbuilder build locale

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

The build locale cannot be set with pbuilder and always defaults to "C"
(for both LANG and LC_ALL on Launchpad builds) rather than to "C.UTF-8"
as used by sbuild for all official Debian and Ubuntu builds. This causes
FTBFS of various packages that depend on the correct locale being set on
the build system, often noticeable with the test suites of Python
packages for instance.

The attached patch changes only five lines of code (pbuilder-
buildpackage and pbuilderrc) to allow easy setting of the pbuilder build
locale. Based on local testing the patch works as intended, in that
packages depending on the correct locale which FTBFS using unpatched
pbuilder (yet build successfully with sbuild on Launchpad) now also
build successfully with the local patched pbuilder. Please consider
applying the patch.
