Description Andrew Martynov 2004-11-01 08:06:07 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7)

Description of problem:
If system configured for Russian language as system language in
/etc/sysconfig/i18n then /usr/sbin/printconf-backend fail with python
traceback and cups service also could not start correctly.

I found that it happens in function "which_spooler" of module
"cups_impour.py". Binary file "alternatives" display localized output
messages while looks for English message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-printer-0.6.47.3.19-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 3 ES
2. Setup system language "Russian", for example by editing file
/etc/sysconfig/i18n:
LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="ru_RU.UTF-8:ru_RU:ru"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
3. reboot system or execute in bash 'export LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8'
4. execute /usr/sbin/printconf-backend
5. restart cups : service cups restart
    

Actual Results:  /usr/sbin/printconf-backend does not produce lines
Cups is restarted correctly

Expected Results:  /usr/sbin/printconf-backend is failed with python
traceback and message about unbound variable 'which' in module
/usr/share/printconf/util/cups_import.py

Additional info:

cups_import.py module execute /usr/sbin/alternatives in current locate
but wait output message in English.
Comment 1 Andrew Martynov 2004-11-01 09:21:48 UTC 
I found temporary solution to return cups back to English locale.

Add in the beginning of /etc/init.d/cups file two lines:
LANG=C
NOLOCALE=yes

So printconf-backend executed in C locale and work correctly.
