Title:
  crashes when setlocale fails

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “software-properties” source package in Trusty:

Bug description:
  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)

  Also watching the errors bucket to ensure the crash does not occur
  with the proposed package should help.
