Hi,
Sorry, this is unfortunately not what I expected and I suspect you
misunderstood my intention/request.
* I had envisioned $(LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 dpkg-divert ...), which would
only overwrite the language exactly for the dpkg-divert
command/pipeline.
* The proposed change fails to export the variable, so it is not going
to work except when LC_ALL is already exported (which is not the
case on all systems)
* Also, overriding LC_ALL in the entire script completely overrules
the users locale preventing other messages in the users native
language.
Apologies for the misunderstanding and having to ask you for a third
attempt.
Thanks,
~Niels
