I'm thinking not..
Yes, it is necessary because without the patch "mkcatdefs" is not invoked at all in the "C" locale (it is so for German, French, etc - those locales get their Mrm.cat, Uil.cat files). What happens without the patch is that "gencat" utility is invoked on the .msg file and it fails because it cannot parse symbolic set names: $set MS_Mrm gencat insists on having numbers here: ln -s ../../../../imports/motif/localized/C/msg/Xm.msg Xm.msg /usr/local/bin/ksh93 ../../../../programs/localized/util/makeMessCat Xm.cat C Running gencat on ./Xm.vmsg with LANG set to C gencat: neither blank line nor start of a message id on line 28 ^ gencat: neither blank line nor start of a message id on line 29 ^ gencat: setId's must be greater than zero on line 31 $set MS_ArrowButton chmod: ./Xm.cat: No such file or directory Removing ./Xm.vmsg I am not a locale expert but I understand that we still need .cat files installed even for C locale - the installer does so for CDE programs as well as it attempts to install those three files as well. //Marcin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
