Package: gconv-modules Version: 2.1.2-5 Severity: important In debian-users (for Japense) mailing-list, someone found that gconv-modules would not be loaded if it was setgid program. For examples, `LANG=ja_JP.eucJP /usr/games/same-gnome' (in gnome-same-gnome package) would not show any menu strings (of course, it should be Japanese).
It can be fixed by adding /usr/lib/gconv to /etc/ld.so.conf. If /usr/lib/gconv in /etc/ld.so.conf, `LANG=ja_JP.eucJP /usr/games/same-gnome' would works fine with Japanese menu strings. However, I suspect this is bugs of glibc/icongdata/Makefile. In this file, LDFLAGS for libJIS.so (and libKSC,libGB,libCNS) are `-Wl,-soname,$(@F)' only, however others (such as EUC-JP.so) are `-Wl,-rpath,'$$ORIGIN''. When we checked same-gnome with strace, it find "EUC-JP.so", but failed to find "libJIS.so". So, it might be fixed by adding -rpath,'$$ORIGIN' for LDFLAGS for libJIS.so,libKSC.so, libGB.so and libCNS.so, but I've not yet checked it. Best regards, Fumitoshi UKAI
