Package: diffuse
Version: 0.2.15-1

Diffuse stopped working when I switched from lenny to sid.
When trying to run it (with or without any file), I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/diffuse", line 489, in <module>
theResources = Resources()
File "/usr/bin/diffuse", line 295, in __init__
help_file = os.path.join(getLocalisedDir('/usr/share/gnome/help/diffuse'),
'diffuse.xml')
File "/usr/bin/diffuse", line 180, in getLocalisedDir
path = os.path.join(s, lang)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/posixpath.py", line 60, in join
if b.startswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'
Looking at the source and adding some print calls, I located the problem:
the function os.path.join is called with lang = 'None'. This value is the
one returned by the function locale.getdefaultlocale.
Looking then at /usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py, they say that the locale should
be searched in LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG and LANGUAGE , but the function
getdefaultlocale always returns 'None'.
In my system, running
env|fgrep LANG
gives
LANG=C
GDM_LANG=C
running
env|fgrep LC
gives nothing
and locale says:
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
Otherwise, 'diffuse' works well when forcing lang to 'C' at line 179.
