Bug#259537: 'fr_FR.UTF-8' or any UTF-8 locale seems missing in X11
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-13
In my /usr/XF86R6/lib/X11/locales directory I don't have fr_FR.UTF-8,
nor do I have it in my alias file. This is however my C locale.
dpkg-reconfigure locales does what's its expected to do.
The UTF-8 problems only occur in emacs (stuff downloaded with zopeedit)
and in the mozilla email client.
The problems occur in blackbox as well as kde, but not on console logins.
I can try
#export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8
from konsole, but get the following after
# ls --help
Here is another interesting symptom. When I use konsole and type ls
--help, I get this ::
Afficher les informations au sujet des FICHIERS (du répertoire
courant par défaut). Trier les entrées alphabétiquement si aucune
des options -cftuSUX ou --sort n'est utilisée.
I do have a en_US.UTF-8 in the /usr/XF86R6/lib/X11/locales directory,
but the files still present the same symptoms in emacs, kate and konsole.
Here is one of the offending files (attached, I dont't know if you'll
see it).
