     Hi,
     
     this is not a PostgreSQL problem. Make sure the locale settings are
     valid in the build environment. (This is either a problem with the
     build daemon, or a problem with pspp's testsuite or debian/rules
     file.)

Pspp's testsuite sets its environment to LC_ALL=C overriding anything which 
might have been
previously set.   This should ensure the locale is always valid shouldn't it?

I presume this error is one that has just recently arisen?  and so far as I'm 
aware, no uploads
of pspp have recently occured in Debian (am I right Frederich?)   If so, then I 
suggest that recent
changes to other entities are investigated. 

Or we can just ignore stderr by using the workaround  I suggested earlier.
