Bug Description

Binary package hint: gourmet

rolf@X24:~$ locale -a
C
de_DE.utf8
en_US.utf8
ja_JP.utf8
POSIX
rolf@X24:~$ LANG=no_DE.UTF-8 gourmet

(gourmet:12229): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
 Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Unable to properly set locale no_DE.UTF-8
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from gourmet.OptionParser import *

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 478, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

Starting with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 works fine. The problem still occurs in 0.14.3-1

I believe this should be fixed -- there's a fallback to English if you get errors setting the locale.
