Package: gtk-qt-engine Version: 1:0.8-1.1 Severity: important Tags: l10n Use of gtk-qt-engine can interfere with locale dependent data processing, as (through QApplication::QApplication -> qt_init -> qt_init_internal) calls setlocale( LC_ALL, "" ); and setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" ); are executed by library code, overriding settings originally present in the calling context. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512752 for an illustration of the problems this can cause.
Library code should either not touch the locale settings at all, or ensure they are restored upon return to the caller's context. I'm not familiar enough with Qt to say whether this can be fixed in Qt without breaking other code, or whether this should be worked around in gtk-qt-engine, so I'm putting the Qt maintainer on Cc for input. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (400, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gtk-qt-engine depends on: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-7 core libraries and binaries for al ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.5-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 [gtk2.0-bin 2.12.7-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.7-9 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++6 4.3-20080127-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library gtk-qt-engine recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
