Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Severity: normal
The problem is that some programs like for example menu fail to execute when the
locale is set to et_EE.
Menu generates following output:
--- CUT HERE ---
In file "/etc/menu-methods/wmaker", at (or in the definition that ends at) line 10:
userprefix="GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/"
^
Unknown Error
install-menu: /etc/menu-methods/wmaker: Aborting
update-menus[1265]: Script /etc/menu-methods/wmaker returned error status 1.
--- CUT HERE ---
If I set the LC_ALL=C the program runs with no problems. (For fun I
tried installing different locale lt_LT, this generated no errors
either.)
There is other programs that have similar problems, one of them is
ecasound (and ladspa). When setting locale to C they work again.

I can no more reproduce this bug with libc6 2.3.5-7, thus closing it
now. Please reopen it if you still have trouble.
Thanks for your report.
