Package: release-notes Severity: normal Hi,
given that we regularly identify bugs, at least for GNOME, that manifest only when using a non-UTF8 locale - and I mean important bugs like not being able to unlock the screensaver, non-working screenreader, or impossibility to list filenames in both a terminal and the file navigator - I think the release notes should strongly advise users of legacy locales to upgrade to UTF-8. On the desktop, such legacy locales are just hacks in the libraries internals, and we cannot decently provide support for users who still use them. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
