Package: openoffice.org Version: 1.1.3-8 Severity: important
OpenOffice.org Calc ignores *at least* the following environment variables: LC_TIME and LC_NUMERIC, when deciding how to represent dates and decimal numbers. It, however, uses the value of LC_MESSAGES to decide this. I think this must be a policy violation since LC_MESSAGES should just affect menu languages and such, not how to represent "1/7" in decimal or January 3rd 2005 in numeric format. Example: LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] oocalc Then type 2.2.2 into a cell, and you get 2/2/2 instead of 2.2.2 like you should. The same happens with typing "=1/4", which produces 0.25 instead of 0,25 as the Finnish locale would require. Changing LC_MESSAGES to a finnish one, too, fixes both representations, but has the side-effect of changing the menus to ununderstandable finglish (this is, of course, what it should do). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (999, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10+juhaj+v1.8+iproute-fix-refcount-patch Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages openoffice.org depends on: ii dictionaries-common [openoffi 0.25.0 Common utilities for spelling dict ii openoffice.org-bin 1.1.3-8 OpenOffice.org office suite binary ii openoffice.org-debian-files 1.1.3-8+1 Debian specific parts of OpenOffic ii openoffice.org-l10n-en [openo 1.1.3-8 English (US) language package for ii openoffice.org-l10n-fi [openo 1.1.3-8 Finnish language package for OpenO ii ttf-opensymbol 1.1.3-8 The OpenSymbol TrueType font ii xml-core 0.09 XML infrastructure and XML catalog -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
