Hi parted maintainers,

In parted 3.2, tests/t0251-gpt-unicode.sh needs the C.UTF-8 locale.
However, this isn't provided by stock glibc, and it's not available on
all systems (only ones like Debian where they've patched it in).

I guess the test only really needs *some* UTF-8 locale, so a potential
fix would be to grep the output of "locale -a" for a UTF-8 locale to
use -- and not run the test at all if there isn't one.

Thanks,

I have a patch to fix this by trying en_US.UTF-8 first and then C.UTF-8
if that doesn't exist.
