Re: Bug#126035: boot-floppies: 'make check_depends' demands utf8 libs

[Claus Hindsgaul <claus_h@image.dk>]

A new observation on my own bug report.

It just occured to me that the LC is *technically* enabled in my config. But 
during the build, the following text appears.

   I: single locale mode forced for flavor '', no FB console support

So the config file (that check_depends reads) says LC is on, while it is 
suppressed during the actual build.

The big problem here is, that removing the LC during the build process 
actually invalidades the conditional in check_depends. The rules change from 
"require utf8 libs" to "avoid utf8 libs".
Maybe the build should totally give up with an error instead of just issuing 
the "I:.." line above.
