Bug#862371: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.3.1-1
Tim,
absolutely superb - that worked very nicely :D
Not quite sure I understand why since I dont recognise that locale -
some-sort of special "C language" unicode locale? - but it works so
thats the main thing.
Gianfranco,
A new version of the package has been uploaded with Tim's
suggestion. Tested by building in a Stretch chroot.
In addition - as requested - the .installs have been simplified.
I also doubled checked this and threw this up on a launchpad PPA.
cheers
David
