Package: xlibs-data
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: minor
In xlibs-data:
% grep '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
fi_FI fi_FI.ISO8859-15
fi_FI: fi_FI.ISO8859-15
In locales:
% dpkg-reconfigure locales
...
[ ] fi_FI ISO-8859-1
...
Thus generating the "fi_FI" locale and using it causes various
compatibility problems between X applications and other applications.
For example, terminal applications running in xterm assume an
ISO-8859-1 terminal while xterm translates keyboard events as if it
was an ISO-8859-15 terminal.
Don't ask me which one is the right charset for a Finnish locale. :)
However, I do think that the charset mismatch is a bug, either in
xlibs-data or in locales.
