Bug#27587: dpkg: segfaults on errors when LC_ALL or LANG are set

[ujr@physik.phy.tu-dresden.de (Ulf Jaenicke-Roessler)]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.30

Hi,

 this is just another dpkg effect when Locales are used:

ujr [~] 500> echo $LANG
de_DE
ujr [~] 501> echo $LC_ALL
de_DE
ujr [~] 502> mkdir t
ujr [~] 503> cd t
ujr [~/t] 504> dpkg --info test.deb
Speicherzugriffsfehler                  <-- ie. Segmentation Fault
ujr [~/t] 505> unset LANG LC_ALL
ujr [~/t] 506> dpkg --info test.deb
dpkg-deb: failed to read archive `test.deb': No such file or directory

 I get the same error, when I want to install a package with 'dpkg -i' while
 my /usr partition is mounted read-only.

 Regards,

  Ulf
