This problem has been fixed in upstream code. I'll backport it to FC6 and FC7. Thanks. Since FC5 is still within support for a few days, could we get an updated util-linux package for FC5 as well, please? util-linux-2.13-0.52.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. util-linux-2.13-0.52.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Description of problem: Applications of the util-linux package are looking for their translated messages in a completely wrong location. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Any version of util-linux in at least FC5, FC6 or F7. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set your locale to e.g. fi_FI.UTF-8, or any other language to which util-linux has been translated. 2. Run e.g. `hwclock --help' or `fdisk --help' Actual results: The help text is shown in English. Expected results: Seeing the help text in Finnish (or whatever was chosen as language above). Additional info: The translation files exist in the util-linux RPM, and they also contain the appropriate messages, but for some reason the applications are searching the files in the wrong path. Debugging the situation with `strace' reveals: # strace hwclock --help 2>&1 | grep LC_MESSAGES open("/share/locale/fi_FI.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/util-linux.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/share/locale/fi_FI.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/util-linux.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/share/locale/fi_FI/LC_MESSAGES/util-linux.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/share/locale/fi.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/util-linux.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/share/locale/fi.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/util-linux.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/share/locale/fi/LC_MESSAGES/util-linux.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Notice the path is /share, not /usr/share. On FC6, the path begins e.g. with /root//fi_FI.UTF-8/..., and on FC5, an even more surprising path /tmp//fi_FI.UTF-8/... is used.
