RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
When LC_ALL is set to a locale with different decimal character than dot "." (e.g. cs_CZ.UTF-8), ssm crashes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
This issue is present from the beginning, this is not a regression.
How reproducible:
Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
$ export LC_ALL="cs_CZ.UTF-8"
$ sudo ssm list
Actual results:
ssm crashes with an unhandle ValueError: invalid literal for float()
Expected results:
ssm does the same thing as with LC_ALL='C'
Additional info:
The simplest fix is to run all the tools from ssm with LC_ALL='C'. This will ignore the user-set preference for localization, but as SSM does not support localization at all, this is not an issue. Furthermore, ssm already overwrites LC_NUMERIC. This can be changed to LC_ALL to fix this issue.
This issue was not noticed before probably because users with different locale usually used individual LC_* variables and for that case ssm already had a solution.
