Bug#602573: apt: Acquire::Languages ignored (in some locales)

[Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.8.8
Severity: normal

On my machine apt ignores the Acquire::Languages setting:

# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

# apt-config dump | grep Acquire::Languages
Acquire::Languages "none";

# apt-get update | grep Translation
Ign http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ unstable/contrib Translation-en
Ign http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main Translation-en
Ign http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ unstable/non-free Translation-en
Ign http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ experimental/contrib Translation-en
Ign http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main Translation-en
Ign http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/ experimental/non-free Translation-en


The problem disappears e.g. if I set LC_MESSAGES to something else:

# LC_MESSAGES=pl_PL.utf8 apt-get update | grep -c Translation
0
