Bug 132456

Description of problem:
mkinitrd fails to compute dependencies from certain modules.dep
files, which results for example in failing to compute that
ext3 depends on jbd, which is then not included in the initramfs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.1.11-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set the locale to
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

2. make sure you have gawk-3.1.4-1
  
3. test on the attached modules.dep files with
   the attached script extracted from mkinitrd
   dependency calcucation function

Actual results:
mkinitrd fails to compute ext3 dependency on jbd

Expected results:
mkinitrd should realize ext3 depends on jbd and include
jbd in initramfs

Additional info:
See attached patch. Setting LC_CTYPE=C before the AWK
invocation appears to fix the problem. 

Interestingly enough, changing the line containing 
dep=sprintf(..., dep, ...) to 
tmp=sprintf(..., dep, ...); dep=tmp also fixes the problem,
although I don't know why.
