Bug#296719: xlibs-data: zh_TW.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE is broken after upgrading 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7
Package: xlibs-data
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
I had installed Debian Sarge on my machine.
Everything runs very well, except gtk+ 1.2 based applications, like XMMS.
If I launch XMMS in zh_TW.UTF-8 or ja_JP.UTF-8 locale,
The characters shown on XMMS are all became illegible codes.
But it works fine in zh_TW.Big5, zh_CN.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF8 locale.
It seems that the libgtk1.2 library can't realize zh_TW.UTF-8 locale,
For a unknown reason, it convert the unicode characters to big5,
So that the characters shown on XMMS are all became illegible codes.
After some tracking, we think xlibs-data package is the problem.
the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/zh_TW.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE and
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE
offered by xlibs-data package seems broken since 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7:
If we downgrade xlibs-data from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6,
Everything goes very well.
So I think it is a bug in xlibs-data, please consider to fix it.
Thanks!
