Ok, so if it's only in combination with the experimental libc, or with an explicit MALLOC_CHECK_=2 export, it's fine to lower the severity a little; this still is either important or serious. > > * has an easy workaround: G_FILENAME_ENCODING=utf-8 (or just use a > > working locale, damnit) > I use the locale I xant fuck! Cool down; I also recommend you consider using an UTF-8 locale; yes, you may use any supported locale. I recommend you set G_FILENAME_ENCODING= to whatever you use for your files; I set it to @locale because I'm using UTF-8 filenames and my locale is UTF-8. > > * doesn’t affect at all the rest of the system > Yes it does it break thunderbird and mozilla!

I do agree this will seriously break your system, but only when combining multiple factors. It's good enough to document this as a serious bug and this will block people who look at bugs in this lib to upgrade. An example of a critical bug is when your libc is broken and you can't even upgrade, or when a package destroys file in another package without any way of identifying which files or which packages. Let's stop discussing bug severities; fixing the bug is what matters. > You do not treat bugs! You do nothing no even tell me what LANG /locales > settings I should use.

Cool down; it's been only a couple of hours you reported this bug; the suggestion is to use an UTF-8 locale. I'm using LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8. > If you do not think it is a bug I say it prevent me to work normally and > was introduced by the experimental package version. Using experimental package version is guaranteed to prevent you from working normally from time to time. :-) Cheers, -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
