First, thank you for working towards another parted release.  It's been 
quite a while since the last one so I appreciate your efforts.

To try to get this next parted release as bug free as possible I will 
test it across a number of distros that we use for GParted testing.  The 
source tarball I am using is the parted-3.1.90 alpha release from 
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parted/

Following is some information from running "make check" both as a normal 
user and as root:

This is report is from the first distro I used in testing

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Phillip,

In my Debian 7 VM I ran 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' to ensure 
that I had the latest packages.

Next I removed the entire parted-3.1.90 directory, rebuilt parted, and 
then ran 'make check' as root again.  The same error occurs.

Attached is the log (t0251-gpt-unicode.log) as requested in:

You have a bunch of errors like this:

warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No
such file or directory

So it looks like something is broken in your vm that is preventing
apps from using UTF-8.

Hi Phillip,

This error is likely not a great concern, though I should mention that 
this is a stock install of Debian 7 from the 
debian-7.0.0-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso where I selected "Canada" as the 
country.  I suspect that not all locales are installed by default (e.g., 
en_US.UTF-8).  Hence the test might fail on any default non-US installation.

Curtis

I had assumed you were using en_US.UTF-8 and so something was broken
with your install, but since you said you were using Canada, I looked
at the script again and realized that I did explicitly select
en_US.UTF-8.  I'm not sure why I did that now and will need to take
another look at it; perhaps I should have used C.UTF-8...

parted-3.2 fails the same test when built on GNU Guix because the
"C.UTF-8" locale is not available (see below).  Changing
t0251-gpt-unicode.sh to use "en_US.UTF-8" fixes the problem.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mhw:~$ cat test.c
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  char *desired_locale = argv[1];
  char *result = setlocale (LC_ALL, desired_locale);

  printf ("setlocale (LC_ALL, \"%s\") => ", desired_locale);
  if (result)
    printf ("\"%s\"\n", result);
  else
    printf ("NULL\n");
  return 0;
}

mhw:~$ gcc -o test test.c
mhw:~$ ./test C.UTF-8
setlocale (LC_ALL, "C.UTF-8") => NULL
mhw:~$ ./test en_US.UTF-8
setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8") => "en_US.UTF-8"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

GNU Guix uses glibc-2.19 with almost no modifications, and includes the
default set of locales installed by "make localedata/install-locales".
See <http://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/glibc-2.19.x86_64-linux> for
build logs of our glibc.

      Mark

What?  It should not be possible to not have the C locale; it is the
native, untranslated locale and is the fallback locale used whenever
the chosen locale is missing or incomplete.

Upstream GNU libc includes a "C" locale which is limited to ASCII.
However, it does not include a "C.UTF-8" locale.  See this discussion:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=902094

GNU Guix uses upstream GNU libc, so it doesn't have "C.UTF-8" either.

More details: Debian added "C.UTF-8" to their glibc package starting
with 2.13-1, and that was picked up by Ubuntu.  However, it is not in
upstream glibc, and it appears that many other popular distros including
Fedora and Arch don't have "C.UTF-8" either.
