Package: freevo Version: 1.8.1-2 Severity: important Tags: l10n The generated /etc/freevo/debconf.py doesn't have any source encoding declaration: this becomes an issue when Freevo is installed in a French environment, since debconf.py will contain some non-ascii accents in the VIDEO_ITEMS, AUDIO_ITEMS and IMAGE_ITEMS lines.
Python 2.5 doesn't accept debconf.py as a valid input any more, which prevents Freevo from starting at all. The bug was quite tricky to track down, since running "freevo --trace start" just returns, without any error message. Adding the line: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- at the top of the generated debconf.py made my Freevo happy. (Well almost, Freevo now starts, but the accents in the directory labels are not properly displayed). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (60, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages freevo depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-65.1 Linux console and font utilities ii debconf 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii freevo-data 1.8.1-2 Themes and non-application data fo ii lsdvd 0.16-3 read the content info of a DVD ii mplayer-nogui [ 1:1.0.rc2svn20080706-0.1 The Ultimate Movie Player For Linu ii python 2.5.2-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.8 register and build utility for Pyt ii python-freevo 1.8.1-2 Python modules for Freevo Versions of packages freevo recommends: ii cdparanoia 3.10.0+debian-1 audio extraction tool for sampling ii libxmltv-perl 0.5.52-1 Perl libraries related to the XMLT ii xine-ui 0.99.5+cvs20070914-2 the xine video player, user interf ii xmltv-util 0.5.52-1 Utilities related to the XMLTV fil Versions of packages freevo suggests: pn fbset <none> (no description available) pn fbxine <none> (no description available) pn flac <none> (no description available) pn lame <none> (no description available) ii libdvdcss2 1.2.10-0.2 Simple foundation for reading DVDs pn matrox-tools <none> (no description available) ii mencoder 1:1.0.rc2svn20080706-0.1 MPlayer's Movie Encoder pn nvram-wakeup <none> (no description available) pn ttf-liberation <none> (no description available) pn vorbis-tools <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: freevo/path_to_recordings: /home/freevo/recordings * freevo/display: x11 * freevo/start_on_boot: freevo/path_to_audio: /home/freevo/audio freevo/path_to_image: /home/freevo/image * freevo/norm: pal freevo/path_to_video: /home/freevo/video freevo/title_image: Répertoire des images * freevo/chanlist: france freevo/title_video: Répertoire vidéo * freevo/services: xserver, recordserver, encodingserver * freevo/geometry: 800x600 freevo/title_audio: Répertoire audio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
