Bug#490651: VDR_LANG in /usr/lib/vdr/config-loader.sh not set by /etc/default/locale

[Stefan Zechner]

Package: vdr
Version: 1.6.0-4
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Hi,

vdr 1.6.0-4 does not display special characters correctly on my machine.

Reason seems to be the missing locale setting of env. variable VDR_LANG
which should be filled by the script /usr/lib/vdr/config-loader.sh

$LANG is no longer defined in /etc/environment but in
/etc/default/locale (apparently because of some deb policy violations).

However, other packages have done the same change:
i.e. see /etc/init.d/mountall.sh :

if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
        . /etc/default/locale
        export LANG
fi

Regards,
Stefan
