** Changed in: ubuntu-translations Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666565 Title: "utf8" charmap in locale name is wrong Status in Ubuntu Translations: Fix Released Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: language-selector LanguageSelector/macros.py explicitly sets the charmap part of locale strings to "utf8" - it should be set to "UTF-8" instead. This is relevant because not all systems alias locale names with the former to the latter, and compatibility with those systems is broken. Rationale for this change is that the 'locales' package uses the uppercase hyphenated format everywhere, even going as far as replacing '.utf8' with it in one case: % dpkg -L locales | xargs grep '\.utf8' /usr/sbin/locale-gen: elif [ $IS_LANG = no ] && L=`grep "^${1/%.utf8/.UTF-8} " /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED`; then To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/666565/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
