Bug 193680: print/gribouy: Fix build on FreeBSD 8 and 9 by removing French
locale on all platforms
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193680


------- Additional Comments from John Marino <marino at FreeBSD.org>
print/gribouy builds on FreeBSD 10 and 11, but not FreeBSD 8 and 9.  This
problem is locale support which only works on recent FreeBSD.  The pkg-plist is
set for how it packages for FreeBSD 10 and 11, thus causing a plist failure on
F8 and F9.

My suggestion is don't install the French locale on any platform.  This works
on all platforms:

Another approach would be to make the pkg-plist conditional based on platform
(I don't another test to use) but such an approach should also handle
DragonFly.  I chose my solution as it's more robust.
