[New-bugs-announce] [issue34806] distutils tests fail with recent 3.7 branch

[Matthias Klose]

New submission from Matthias Klose <doko at debian.org>:

two distutils tests fail when running the tests from an installed location. 3.7 branch 20180925, succeeded with a 20180911 snapshot. Is there any locale setting required?
