Bug 417951

Do you mean this?:

$ LC_ALL=bn_IN system-config-printer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 3769,

ValueError: unknown locale: bn_IN


or something else?  It is very helpful to show exactly what 'locale' says, and
also to include any traceback messages you see in ~/.xsession-errors.

I got the following errors....
The first one when I run the command..
LC_ALL=bn_IN system-config-printer
The error was...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 3744,
in <module>
    main(start_printer, change_ppd)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 3717,

    mainwindow = GUI(start_printer, change_ppd)

    self.language = locale.getlocale(locale.LC_MESSAGES)

    return _parse_localename(localename)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 373, in _parse_localename
    raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: bn_IN

And 2nd is when I run the command...
# system-config-printer
The error was..

    index = self.combobox_map.index (ipp_value)

So, are both the same errors? Anyway, if any other info required, pls inform.

What does 'lpstat -s' say?

Why are you using bn_IN and not bn_IN.UTF-8?

Of course the program shouldn't crash because of an invalid or unknown locale.

"LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8 system-config-printer" runs for me with pre-F9 anyway,
but not bn_IN.

Changing component to python.  Reproducer:

LC_ALL=bn_IN python -c 'import locale;locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,
"");locale.getlocale(locale.LC_ALL)'

Err, unless I'm missing something this isn't a "crash" python is just throwing
an exception because it can't find a particular locale ... so what?

 In yum we do this:

    try:
        locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
    except locale.Error, e:
        # default to C locale if we get a failure.
        print >> sys.stderr, 'Failed to set locale, defaulting to C'
        os.environ['LC_ALL'] = 'C'
        locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C')

It's throwing ValueError, and from getlocale not setlocale.

Anyway, we now catch this and handle in upstream.
