Sure, a PR never hurts. @cboettig is more on top of locale settings than I am. We may have switched between en_US,UTF-8 and C in other spots.

Dear @eddelbuettel ,

I fail to build this image.

The base image in the Dockerfile is the official r-base in https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/r-base/ and a dependency issue occurred for libcairo2-dev/unstable. However, if I change the base image to rocker/r-base, the rocker/shiny image is built successful.

Are you using the rocker/r-base as base image of rocker/shiny?

@wush978 Sorry, that's a temporary issue do to debian transition of jessie out of testing. If you add -t unstable argument to the apt-get install commands, you'll be able to build the image. That won't be necessary after the next r-base update, so we haven't bothered to change this in all the images yet.

With that you should be able to build your fork and we'd be happy to look at a PR, thanks.
