Hi David,
i will try to help:
* What's the current behaviour? What are the exact steps to reproduce
it?
The current behaviour are various problems with the german language locales on
system level.
(The problems in KDE in the other bug report are fixed.)
When you are working in shell you can see that the german vowel mutations (äüö
ÄÜÖ ß) are not displayed correct.
Of course there are several problems with this vowels in filenames.
The vowels are been shown as crazy special characters like inverted ? or
something else.
When you try to access (copy, move, delete) such filenames it will not work!
This is the same reason when you try to work with such files in KDE with a
filemanager like krusader.
You can see the files but you can't rename them.
Although files are been shown correct in KDE you can't work wirh them because
the translation of special characters to the system level is not working.
(Now i understand why debian has used ISO-8859 as standard locales in
germany. But UTF8 would be more universal - if it works without
problems.)
* What results do you expect?
1. When you install a package in the shell with aptitude you can see the error
messages as posted above.
This should be fixed. (Somehow the locales could not to be find by the
system ?)
2. Filenames with german vowels should be shown and handled correct in the
shell.
3. Text output in the shell should show correct german vowels (I try to avoid
vowels).
Regards
Karsten
