Hi,
I've noticed the following.
I don't know if it's a gnome or libc bug (or if it's a normal behavior)
I was using:
* libc6 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0
* libc6-dev 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0
* libc6-dev-ppc64 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0
* libc6-ppc64 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0
* locales 2.3.6-1+gcc4.0
After reinstalling locales 2.3.6-1, without restarting gdm, gdm refused to
use the fr_FR.UTF-8 locales on login.
If I restart gdm, I can use the fr_FR.UTF-8 locale.
I'm using gnome 2.12.2.2
I could reproduce it with the following steps:
1. dpkg -i *gcc4.0*
2. /etc/init.d/gdm restart
3. dpkg -i locales_2.3.6-1_all.deb
4. select French (UTF-8) in the languages list of gdmgreeter
5. log in, you should receive the following warning:
"La langue fr_FR.UTF-8 n'esiste pas, utilise Système par défaut"
Which is the French for:
"language fr_FR.UTF-8 does not exist; using system default"
If I first install all the glibc 2.3.6-1 packages, then restart gdm, then
install locales_2.3.6-1+gcc4.0_all.deb, the same issue happens.
(I had no problem with the French (euro) language)
I don't remember having to restart gdm after upgrading the locales package.
Do you think this is normal?
Best Regards,
