Bug#663459: should depend on locales
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.5~bpo60+1
Severity: important
Hi,
if locales is not installed (because usually locales-all does just fine
for all a system's needs) when lintian get installed, it does not create
/var/lib/lintian/locale/en_US.UTF-8.
This causes it to misbehave like this:

Note that not only does it spew lots of warnings to stderr, it also prints
false positives to stdout (like manpage-has-bad-whatis-entry).
If locales is installed when lintian gets installed, everything is fine:
| weasel@valiant:~/projects/debian/debian/obfsproxy/packages/0.1.1$ lintian obfsproxy_0.1.1-1_amd64.changes
| W: obfsproxy source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.2 (current is 3.9.3)
| W: obfsproxy: old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file
| weasel@valiant:~/projects/debian/debian/obfsproxy/packages/0.1.1$
Cheers,
