+I'm not able to reproduce the original reported problem; it works even when
+using the C locale. However, it may be that this patch would fix it:

+(The NeuroDebian git-annex-standalone may well have had its locale
+installation broken by [[!commit c07981122672f6cc87ca08efb57d8a7b1e2f5725]],
+which assumes that the git-annex.linux is writable by the user.
+I doubt that is related to the original bug report.)
