If you set LANG=C instead of POSIX, it works. On the other hand, "C" and "POSIX" should behave the same: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap07.html#tag_07_02 Current qtractor code: if (loc.language() != QLocale::C) { And when I check QT's QLocale class, I only see QLocale::C, no QLocale::POSIX: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6-snapshot/qlocale.html#Language-enum So I see different options: - you change LANG from POSIX to C - TrollTech adds POSIX to their QLocale class - qtractor manually checks for the POSIX string in LC_whatever I guess the last option is probably the worst, while the first is the least complex one. If not special-cased, all QT based apps would hit this bug. I don't know if more packages don't honor POSIX==C in the LANG variable, but you probably do. ;) Cheerio -- mail: a...@thur.de http://adi.thur.de PGP/GPG: key via keyserver _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
