Subject: libgtk1.2: @euro locales make all gtk1.2 apps die with SIGSEG
Package: libgtk1.2
Version: 1.2.10-14
Severity: important
Provides partial answers to (Bug#172995: libc6) and (Bug#110091: sylpheed). Thanks to Goto Masanori for
hinting me this one (you were almost right to say fonts were at fault - it's actually locales).
If I have fi_FI@euro as a locale while using libc6 2.3.1, none of the gtk1.2 apps work, they all die
with a SIGSEG. This used to work fine using libc6 2.2.x (what's currently in testing).
Given the above tip above the fonts, I checked if I have any ISO-8859-15 fonts and I indeed have; I can
get the Euro and S/Z+caron as expected in gnome-terminal 2.1.0. I have also reinstalled the locales
package (it correctly shows the @euro locales as being built), but it still doesn't fix anything.
Reverting the locale settings to fi_FI in /etc/environment makes these gtk1.2 applications work again
(except sylpheed, it still dies - but all others gqview, xmms, gaim, etc. work again), but obviously
deprives me from the euro/scaron/zcaron glyphs I need.
(OT) Who is handling the transition from fi_FI (ISO-8859-1) to fi_FI@euro (ISO-8859-15) for localisation of
GTK and Gnome applications?
