Multiple packages have run into build failures on our OBS. On closer
inspection, it was concluded to be issues with the locale settings.
These issues were never seen on the Debian buildd infrastructure because
there the locale setting LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 is in use.

This change keeps us closer to what is used in Debian buildds.

C.UTF-8 does not exist in older distros, so I'm not sure if it is a good idea to set it unconditionally.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/597962/how-widespread-is-the-c-utf-8-locale suggests Arch Linux does not have it - so it's not about the age of the distro

True, but this pull request just patches the build-recipe-dsc file...

but it's about the distribution executing it, or do I get this wrong?

The change only affects DSC_BUILD_CMD which runs in a Debian (or a Debian derivative) chroot, so I think what other distributions do isn’t relevant in this case.

Is this the right place?

Shouldn't we change build-pkg-deb instead?

(but I am not sure who calls who to be honest)

Probably both need to be changed; also build-pkg-deb needs to consistently run deb_chroot.

Any update on this?

To make the build environment a bit more reproducible, ensure the local
timezone is set to UTC when building packages.

Our OBS workers run under a `screen` session, which gives them an actual
`$TERM` variable.

Some packages like `color.js` then enable colored output, which confuses
some other packages like `node-grunt-legacy-log` which use it in their
testsuite and do not expect colored output.

To avoid that, unset `TERM`.

spymemcached package is FTBFS because a test expects a reverse lookup of
127.0.0.1 to return localhost, but current /etc/hosts configuration
returns the hostname instead.

Let's move this `hostname/ip` entry to the end of /etc/hosts so the
reverse lookup of 127.0.0.1 returns localhost, which makes sense to be
the default case usually.
