From 7505065daa0a76cad46de423771e96cdc726ba4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Thiemann Date: Sun, 24 May 2015 02:05:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix alternatives module in non-English locale The alternatives module parses the output of update-alternatives, but the expected English phrases may not show up if the system locale is not English. Setting LC_ALL=C when invoking update-alternatives fixes this problem. --- system/alternatives.py | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/system/alternatives.py b/system/alternatives.py index c298afc2949..06d9bea25f0 100644 --- a/system/alternatives.py +++ b/system/alternatives.py @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ def main(): # Run `update-alternatives --display ` to find existing alternatives (rc, display_output, _) = module.run_command( - [UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES, '--display', name] + ['env', 'LC_ALL=C', UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES, '--display', name] ) if rc == 0: @@ -106,7 +106,7 @@ def main(): # This is only compatible on Debian-based systems, as the other # alternatives don't have --query available rc, query_output, _ = module.run_command( - [UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES, '--query', name] + ['env', 'LC_ALL=C', UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES, '--query', name] ) if rc == 0: for line in query_output.splitlines():
