nis 3.17-17

[Mark Brown <broonie@sirena.org.uk>]

Please consider allowing nis 3.17-17 into testing.  It has been in
unstable for over 10 days and works around an important bug which
prevents the display of records with multi-byte characters in UTF8
locales.

nis (3.17-17) unstable; urgency=low

   * Force locale for ypcat to C in order to work around errors from
     fprintf() with multi-byte characters (closes: #487104).
