Bug#959406: apt-get: Language and numeric formatting in the output do not match
Package: apt
Version: 2.0.2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
there is an inconsistency between used language (English) in the
output and the used punctuation marks for numbers.
LC_LANG=is_IS, decimal_point="," thousands_sep="."
LC_LANG=C, decimal_point="." thousands_sep=""
LC_LANG=C.UTF-8, decimal_point="." thousands_sep=""
Example:
Fetched 1.289 kB in 4s (302 kB/s)
Fetched 42,4 MB in 7s (5.949 kB/s)
Additionally, there should be a space between a number and its units,
here "4s" should be "4 s", "7s" be "7 s".
