Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

In bug 382398 the report has run apport-collect however their language is set to LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 subsequently some of the command output has Russian in it like so:

ArecordDevices:
 **** Список CAPTURE устройств ****
 карта 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], устройство 0: ALC660-VD Analog [ALC660-VD Analog]

It'd be a bit easier for triagers and developers if this were in English instead.

Also is there anyway we could get this in an SRU for apport?

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 1.3-0ubuntu2

---------------
apport (1.3-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/local/apport-collect: Pass None as HookUI object. This will crash
    with interactive hooks, but is a good enough immediate bandaid.
    (LP: #385811)
  * Merge fixes from trunk:
    - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Add backwards compatibility code for python-apt <
      0.7.9 to not break backportability.
    - hookutils.py, command_output(): Force LC_MESSAGES=C, to avoid translated
      output in bug reports. (LP: #383230)
    - apport-gtk.ui: Make details window resizable, and lower default size, so
      that it will fit on small screens. (LP: #365517)
