[Bug 1134036] [NEW] Package install hangs if LC_ALL is not set

[Julian Edwards]

Public bug reported:

If LC_ALL is not set (which seems to be the default on a few server
installations I've done now), mid way through installing, you get this
backtrace and then the installation just hangs.  You can ctrl-c out of
it but the package is left half configured.

Traceback (most recent call last):
