That hit me when I was developing this Dockerfile and building the 
container initially (about a year ago), and that's actually the very 
first thing I actually do:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install locales
RUN sed -i -e 's/# en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen 
&& locale-gen
ENV LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_US:en"

I'll give that a shot, but it won't be straight forward getting that 
added in to the relevant file without a bit of effort.

My Dockerfile downloads the specified version of each of courier, 
courier-authlib & courier-unicode, extracts just the courier-debuild 
script from each tarball maintaining the directory structure from inside 
the tarball.

Then the Dockerfile moves in to the courier-unicode directory, and runs 
that courier-debuild script to build the -unicode library.  The 
courier-debuild script untars the entire tarball to then run the build 
process.  Lastly, the Dockerfile installs all non-debug .deb's generated.

The Dockerfile then moves on to courier-authlib, and repeats the process.

Lastly, it does the same for the main courier package.


So, I'll have to extract packaging/debian/rules from the courier 
tarball, edit it and re-insert it between downloading it and starting 
the courier-debuild process...


Cheers,

Krystal.
