However, some distros like Debian, Gentoo and their variants start with those undefioned. When Sphinx tries to set a locale with: locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') It raises an exception, making Sphinx fail. This is more likely to happen with test containers. Add a logic to detect and workaround such issue by setting locale to C.
