Hash :f468f0b2 Message :xkbcommon-compose.h: change recommended locale fallback code to treat empty string same as unset
The previous code would cause failures to find the Compose file if one
of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or LANG are set to the
empty string.
The description of the fallback procedure in loclale(7) talks about
"non-null environment variable"; I interpreted this to mean the
environment variable is unset, but it actually means unset or empty (I
verified this by looking at what glibc and musl do).
A recent bug in systemd https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6407
exposed this issue. It causes these these variables to be set to the
empty string in TTY sessions.
