tv_to_latex regression failure (and fix): msg#00005

Subject: tv_to_latex regression failure (and fix)
Hi, 

I've received Debian bug report #213948:

   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=213948

It references a regression test failure under a Debian 'pbuilder' chroot
environment.  (For Debian, pbuilder chroot environments are used as
"clean" environments to ensure that packages build properly and do not
depend any packages installed on or changes specific to a given
developer's personal environment.  They're also used to build packages
for one release while running different release.)

Anyway, the problem stems from the way $LANG is apparently set up in the
pbuilder environment.  It's set to 'C', which Lingua::Preferred doesn't
recognize, and this in turn kills all of the tv_to_latex regression
tests.

I fixed the problem (from my perspective) by adding:

   $ENV{LANG} = 'en';

near the top of t/test_filters.t.  I think this is a reasonable fix,
since it will make the regression tests a bit more independent of the
user's environment.
