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