Re: dpkg-buildpackage

Hi,

	From /usr/doc/kernel-package/Problems.gz (not that one would
 think of looking there, but this has been seen while building
 kernels)


  g) dpkg-gencontrol fails if LC_ALL is set to de_DE.  Actually, I can't
      really confirm this works for anything except en_US. This is true as of
      dpkg/dpkg-dev 1.4.0.19. The error actually reported seems to be
      either that debian/substvars file can not be found, or that the
      changelog file is empty (eben when the file is not empty). 

      The work around seems to be to set the LC_ALL to en_US while
      building. This should be fixed soon.
