Fix a couple of bizarre internationalization/localization bugs.

Robert M. Stockmann provided a patch that fixes up a very strange
issue with the fakeroot call; in several locales other than en_US.utf8,
Something Funky Happens(TM) and fakeroot gets confused about arguments
somewhere down the chain that should be passed to the command it's
wrappering. (Ab)using the -- argument for fakeroot makes it behave
without any apparent side effects - although arguably there's nothing
there that should cause it to *mis*behave in the first place, and the real
bug is either Perl's UTF8 handling somewhere or fakeroot's mangling of
arguments.

While checking that issue, I also uncovered another similar glitch in the
automagical library provides/depends/etc mechanism; adding LANG=C before
the ldd call forces it back to output that the following code understands.
This doesn't need to allow translated strings through, because all it needs
are the library names.
