Bug#979695: Bug in Package reportbug

Hi!

I did some digging, coming from the same error working with ansible.

I have been able to reproduce the error switching between locales:

root@27dc07527a5e:/py# LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" ansible -m apt -i 127.0.0.1, all -a "update_cache=yes"

127.0.0.1 | CHANGED => {

"ansible_facts": {

"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3"

"cache_update_time": 1638522532,

"cache_updated": true,

"changed": true

}

root@27dc07527a5e:/py# LANG="de_DE@euro" ansible -m apt -i 127.0.0.1, all -a "update_cache=yes"

127.0.0.1 | FAILED! => {

"ansible_facts": {

"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3"

"changed": false,

"msg": "<class 'apt_pkg.Cache'> returned a result with an error set"

}

root@27dc07527a5e:/py#

reproduce with: bullseye (05d2318291e3)

image=debian:bullseye ; time docker run -it --rm $image bash -c 'apt-get update >/dev/null && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y python3 locales ansible >/dev/null; sed -i -e "s/# de_DE@euro/de_DE@euro/;s/# de_DE.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8/" /etc/locale.gen; locale-gen de_DE@euro de_DE.UTF-8 >/dev/null ;update-locale LANG="de_DE@euro" ; cat /etc/default/locale;LANG=de_DE@euro ansible --connection local -m apt -i 127.0.0.1, all -a "update_cache=yes";update-locale LANG=de_DE@euro; LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" ansible --connection local -m apt -i 127.0.0.1, all -a "update_cache=yes";cat /etc/issue'

This occures with ansible from pip3 and on debian:sid(33f3c2db12ab).

It doesn’t reproduce on bullseye-slim(dfeb831cef5f) or after rm –rf /usr/share/cache

…
