Bug 212310: devel/gconf2: Error messages with trailing garbage when
uninstalling devel/gnome-vfs

When uninstalling gnome-vfs pkg runs its pkg-deinstall script which in turn
invokes gconftool-2 which gives these error messages with a bunch of trailing
garbage when LANG=en_US.UTF-8:

I/O warning : failed to load external entity

I noticed this on my FreeBSD 10.3 desktop, but it's reproducible in a fresh
FreeBSD 11.0-RC2 VM too.  gnome-vfs version is 2.24.4_4. glib version is
2.46.2_2. gconf2 version is 3.2.6_4.

How to reproduce:
1. pkg install gnome-vfs
2. env -i PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin LANG=en_US.UTF-8
pkg remove gnome-vfs

With LANG=C or LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15 everything looks ok.

I've managed to come up with this minimal example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <glib.h>
#include <libintl.h>

#define GETTEXT_PACKAGE "GConf2"
#define GCONF_LOCALE_DIR "/usr/locale/share/locale"

int main() {
    /* This is the sequence of calls gconftool-2 makes... */
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
    bindtextdomain(GETTEXT_PACKAGE,GCONF_LOCALE_DIR);
    textdomain(GETTEXT_PACKAGE);

    g_thread_init (NULL);

    bindtextdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, GCONF_LOCALE_DIR);
    bind_textdomain_codeset (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, "UTF-8");

    g_printerr("%s\n", g_strerror(ENOENT));
    return 1;
}

Compile and run with:
cc main.c `pkgconf --libs --cflags glib-2.0 gthread-2.0` && env -i
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ./a.out
