libfilezilla 0.27.1 - fails tring_test::test_conversion2 test (ppc64, Big Endian)

[ernsteiswuerfel]

This is downstream Gentoo bug 760944 (​https://bugs.gentoo.org/760944).

string_test::test_conversion2 fails at least since libfilezilla 0.25.0 so I thought it would be a good idea to take this issue upstream.

Which locale are you running the tests under? The locale, or more specifically its character set, must be able to handle the letter "ö" for the test to succeed.

Suitable locales:

• any UTF-8 locale, e.g. C.UTF-8, en_US.utf8
• any locale using one of ISO 8859-1/2/3/4/9/10/13/14/15/16, e.g. de_DE

[ernsteiswuerfel]

You were correct!

I was on locale "C" before. With "de_DE.UTF-8" the test passes.
