[Bug 59228] Re: cpio build glitch breaks Unicode char handling

[Fabio Massimo Di Nitto]

After reading the bug and patch, my understanding is that an underlayng
define is not set properly. The Debian workaround is to avoid that check
since getlocale() is known to exists on our system by default and it
looks the less intrusive one for a backport.

I am going to install this cpio on my edgy and dapper installs and rerun
the LSB tests together with Marc ASAP and rebuild initramfs to make sure
they don't become foobar.

If time allows, i could use this cpio to rerun edgy rebuild on edgy and
check with debdiff if any package is corrupted but this test might take
at least 3/4 days to run over 20000 pkgs.

Jeff do you know of any other cpio usage by default?
