--- Comment #3 from fluid <fluid...@fastmail.fm> --- The problem has been solved. It appears that the environment variable LANG is now set as LANG=aa_DJ.utf8 and I still do not know where this setting is coming from. However simply setting this LANG to the null string is sufficient to let kontact working again as before. I am sure that this variable has not been set before to this aa_DJ.utf8 string, because as a side effect all month abbreviation in an ls command have (for me) unknown 3-character strings, such as -rw-r--r-- 1 charles users 5640 qad 14 22:30 ,sda drwxr-xr-- 2 charles users 4096 kax 7 2016 scripts and this has not been like this until 2 days ago. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
