The bug seems to be fixed in woody. Perhaps that version should
go into frozen, too? Changelog says it includes a lot of
bugfixes.
If these bugs can't be solved for potato I suggest the following
wrapper (taken from /usr/bin/X11/netscape):
-->8-- cut here -->8--
#!/bin/sh
#
# Fix "locale" problems.
#
# If the locale uses a decimal separator other than a point
printf
# will complain and it will not return 1.0
#
pnt=$(printf "%1.1f" 1 2>/dev/null)
if [ "$pnt" != "1.0" ]; then
# echo "1.0 -> $pnt"
# Perhaps we have a "dangerous" value for LANG or LC_NUMERIC. Let's
# try a "safe" value for LC_NUMERIC.
LC_NUMERIC=C
export LC_NUMERIC
pnt=$(printf "%1.1f" 1 2> /dev/null)
fi
if [ "$pnt" != "1.0" ]; then
# No, it is LC_ALL which is bad. Set LC_*=$LC_ALL for every category
# (as expected) except LC_NUMERIC, and then unset LC_ALL.
LC_COLLATE=$LC_ALL
LC_CTYPE=$LC_ALL
LC_MESSAGES=$LC_ALL
LC_MONETARY=$LC_ALL
LC_TIME=$LC_ALL
unset LC_ALL
export LC_ALL LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_CTIME
fi
exec /usr/bin/gnofin
