New uncompatible locale system with glibc2.2 ?
[ please cc me any reply ]
Hi,
it's funny that nobody has complained about glibc2.2 which is screwing
translations ...
Since glibc2.2 has been uploaded, the packages using gettext compiled with
glibc2.1 are no more able to output translated strings with diacritic
signs (eacute (é) and so on for french people for example) ... instead
we see "?" ...
A simple recompile of the affected packages and it works again but it's a
pain ... it means all i18ned apps needs to be recompiled with glibc2.2
just to work correctly again.
Does anybody know why it has to be this way ? Is there something else we
can do ? Is this a bug or a known problem that we can't bypass because of
a internal redesign or something like that ?
Cheers,
