hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

  [Impact]
  Crashes of gdebi (and possibly other tools) in non-English locales which use 1,0 or similar instead of 1.0

  [Test case]
  Install a deb package with gdebi, like Google Chrome, in such a locale.

  Original: Gdebi crashed while installing Google Chrome .deb-fil bur
  the error didn't appear until I logged out and back in again

  [Regression potential]
  Same as bug 1611010 - very low.
