Bug#214524: xlibs: UTF-8 locale not useable
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v3
Severity: important
Tags: experimental
First, thanks all of you for having drop XFree86 4.3 into experimental!
Since I'm using some notebook with a Trident CyberBlade XPAi1, I need it.
I will use it everyday, at home as well as at work.
First thing I found when running it: the UTF-8 environment doesn't work
anymore ! To find the problem, I did strace some program (like galeon)
and found that they was looking for some UTF-8 library in:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/common/xlcUTF8Load.so.2
But there is no such directory as /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/common !
I found the corresponding library in a subdirectory "lib/common".
So, this is the hack I'm using for now to be able to use UTF-8 environment:
ln -s lib/common /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/common
Best regards, J.C.
