[Bug 1314660] [NEW] crashes when setlocale fails

[Michael Vogt]

Public bug reported:

If setlocale("C.UTF-8") fails the software-propoerties-dbus backend fails as well, 
see https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/70c1930688440b1818145db3346da61eb39a7ac8?

Test case:
- I don't know how to make C.UTF-8 a invalid locale so a regression test is enough (the crash is pretty rare too)
