Bad identification of getopt in /usr/bin/fakeroot-sysv with some translations

[Sam Segers]

When running fakeroot in a Dutch enviroment, It fails to identify some arguments like --version with:
"getopt: onbekende optie '--version'
fakeroot, create a fake root environment.
   usage: fakeroot [-l|--lib fakerootlib] [-f|--faked fakedbin]
                   [-i file] [-s file] [-u|--unknown-is-real]
     [-b|--fd-base fd] [-h|--help] [-v|--version]
                   [--] [command]"

This happens because of line 46 in the fakeroot-sysv script.
In English the command 'getopt --version' returns "getopt from util-linux 2.20.1" but in Dutch it returns "'getopt' uit util-linux 2.20.1" (with the " ' " 's)

The following gets bad interpreted:

 46 GETOPTEST=`getopt --version`
 47 case $GETOPTEST in
 48 getopt*) # GNU getopt
 49 FAKE_TEMP=`getopt -l lib: -l faked: -l unknown-is-real -l fd-base: -l ve rsion -l help -- +l:f:i:s:ub:vh "$@"`
 50 ;;
 51 *) # POSIX getopt ?
 52 FAKE_TEMP=`getopt l:f:i:s:ub:vh "$@"`
 53 ;;
 54 esac

The POSIX getopt ? case is followed and fakeroot doesn't work as intended.

Temporary/hacky solution is to add:
GETOPTEST="getopt"
after line 46

Proposed fix is attached; alternate approach would be to call getopt under LC_ALL, but the --version parsing seems hackish when -T is available.

[Loïc Minier (lool)]

Testing: I've done a test build (hello-debhelper) with a binary build of fakeroot with the change and have confirmed that the issue goes away under nl locale.

This bug was fixed in the package fakeroot - 1.20-3ubuntu3

---------------
fakeroot (1.20-3ubuntu3) utopic; urgency=medium

  * New patch, getopt-gnu-test, use "getopt -T" to test for GNU getopt rather
    than parsing the --version output which is locale specific; LP: #1290069.
