Hello,

t0251-gpt-unicode.sh requires the C.UTF-8 locale and fails if it isn=E2=80=
=99t
available.

What about:

  1. Exiting with 77 when the locale is unavailable?

  2. Choosing another locale, such as en_US.utf8?  As of GNU libc 2.19,
     C.UTF-8 (or any other spelling) does not exist.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

-export LC_ALL=3DC.UTF-8
+if [ -e "/usr/share/locale/en_US/" ]; then
+    export LC_ALL=3Den_US.UTF-8
+else
+    export LC_ALL=3DC.UTF-8
+fi

The problem is that this directory is not necessarily where locale data
resides.

One way to check whether the locale encoding is supported would be
with =E2=80=98wc -m=E2=80=99:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ printf 'foo\341\264\244'|LC_ALL=3DC wc -m
6

$ printf 'foo\341\264\244'|LC_ALL=3Den_US.utf8 wc -m
4
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The test could look for a valid UTF-8 locale like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
found_locale=3Dno
for locale in en_US de_DE fr_FR es_ES
do
  LC_ALL=3D"$locale.utf8"

  # In a UTF-8 locale, the string below prints as 4 characters.
  if [ `printf 'foo\341\264\244' | wc -m` -eq 4 ]; then
    found_locale=3Dyes
    break
  fi
done

if [ "$found_locale" !=3D "yes" ]; then
  echo "no valid UTF-8 locale found; skipping" >&2
  exit 77
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

How can the C locale possibly not exist on a system that is not
totally broken?  It is the default and fallback locale when you don't
have any locales installed.

C always exists, but C.UTF-8 no.
