[yocto] Failing devshell

[Dariusz Pelowski]

Hi,

I'm getting an error during execution of devshell:
bitbake -c devshell  quilt-native
WARNING: Host distribution "Arch-Linux" has not been validated with this
version of the build system; you may possibly experience unexpected
failures. It is recommended that you use a tested distribution.

The cause of the problem is the implementation of
poky/meta/lib/oe/terminal.py. It expects that gnome-terminal --version will
return string starting from: "GNOME Terminal". But the returned string
differs when locale is changes. This looks like this:

[darekp at darekp ~]$ LANG=C gnome-terminal --version
GNOME Terminal 3.18.2

[darekp at darekp ~]$ LANG=pl_PL.utf8 gnome-terminal --version
Terminal GNOME 3.18.2

The same problem affects other locales in gnome-terminal. I'm proposing to
fix this issue by setting LANG=C during execution of gnome-terminal
--version.

Is it acceptable solution? Could you apply attached patch?

Thanks,
Dariusz
