Package: openoffice.org-debian-files Version: 1.1.2-3+1 Severity: important
Hello, In my system setup, I set LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.UTF-8 while leaving all other locale related variables to default. This way I can use a Chinese input server such as SCIM and FCITX to type in Chinese under X-Windows but still have an English user interface. However, this doesn't work under OpenOffice where I cannot activate the input server even if I set LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.UTF-8. I've found that the problem seems to have been caused by setting and exporting of LANG environment variable within the openoffice script. Removing the following two lines fixed the problem for me: LANG=$LOCALE export LANG Also, after making this modification, I found that the openoffice script no longer spat out: I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "" during starting-up. Everything worked perfectly afterward. Regards, David Zhu P.S. Originally I posted this bug report as a follow-up of bug #248030, but apparently it went unnoticed, so I'm posting it again as a new bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 Versions of packages openoffice.org-debian-files depends on: ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii openoffice.org 1.1.2-2 high-quality office productivity s ii openoffice.org-bin 1.1.2-2 OpenOffice.org office suite binary -- no debconf information
