It looks like Debian fixed this very recently (among other things). Hurray. See comments from Wed, 08 Apr 2009 there: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479058 I quote: * 003_recognize_glibc_2.3.2_locale_names.diff: don't comment out the eo_XX entries from compose.dir and locale.dir (closes: #479058).

Interesting, it looks like debian disabled that. We could override their change but I'm curious why they changed it... Anyway, until we know that I'm not comfortable making that change. Maybe for karmic. -- Esperanto locale broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304680 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 304680] Re: Esperanto locale broken
** Description changed: Binary package hint: libx11-data The Esperanto locale is broken in Ubuntu Ubuntu-8.10 Intrepid. It was already broken in previous releases, I can't remember when the regression was introduced, but at least Ubuntu-8.04.1 was also affected. I initially reported this as comment in bug #83142, but in hindsight, it might be a different issue so I open this new bug. When setting my locale to eo_XX.UTF-8, I noticed several bugs, at least those 3 problems: * the compose key does not work at all. * vim-7.1.314 from Ubuntu-8.10 crashed (segfault) when using X clipboard with visual selection. This bug is discussed in more details in vim mailing list, see: http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/browse_thread/thread/55612319d5c737ca * gnome-terminal worked but xterm defaulted to C locale. These 3 bugs only happen because eo_XX.UTF-8 locale in Ubuntu is broken. Changing locale to en_US.UTF-8 or fr_FR.UTF-8 for example makes everything work. It is easy to fix: I see that the Esperanto settings in files /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir and /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir are commented out (!?) Uncommenting them resolves all 3 problems. - Please uncomment those lines. I've been using it with the fix without problems. Ubuntu works fine with the eo_XX.UTF-8 uncommented out and it fixes the 3 issues I described. I think the only reasons those line were commented out is because someone did check for non existing country codes and stumbled upon XX. But this change was incorrect, since it breaks havoc the Esperanto locale, and it was probably not well reviewed, since the comment even included a typo (*Esperato* instead of Esperanto) The country code XX should be OK, see: http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-6.html ... and search for territory_code, twice, and you will see that XX is a code allowed for private use, which is the case, since Esperanto is a language that doesn't necessary belong to a specific territory. To quote the page: The private use codes from XA..XZ will never be used by CLDR, and are thus safe for use for other purposes by applications using CLDR data. I see that Debian Lenny/sid also has the same bug. But unlike Ubuntu or Debian, I see that in the file /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir on OpenSUSE-11.0 is fine: the Esperanto locale settings are *not* commented out. Attached is the patched /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir and /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir files. Please notice: * esperanto setting uncommented * some colon characters removed The offending package should be libx11-data: $ dpkg --search /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir libx11-data: /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub [8086:27a0] (rev 03) + Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:30bb] + 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce Go 7600] [10de:0398] (rev a1) + Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:30bb] -- Esperanto locale broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304680 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
