Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2005-07-05 10:39:44 UTC 
What does 'rpm -V system-config-printer' say?
Comment 2 Daniel Malmgren 2005-07-06 05:26:26 UTC

Nothing at all.
Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2005-07-06 08:14:34 UTC 
What does 'locale' say?
Comment 4 Daniel Malmgren 2005-07-06 08:58:10 UTC 
Yep. That's it. Locale says:

LANG=sv_SE
LC_CTYPE="sv_SE"
LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE"
LC_TIME="sv_SE"
LC_COLLATE="sv_SE"
LC_MONETARY="sv_SE"
LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE"
LC_PAPER="sv_SE"
LC_NAME="sv_SE"
LC_ADDRESS="sv_SE"
LC_TELEPHONE="sv_SE"
LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_SE"
LC_ALL=

...but a simple "export LANG=C" makes printconf work again.

(Hmmm... Suddenly I can't change status to assigned anymore. Guess I'll just
leave it as needinfo.)
Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2005-07-06 09:21:55 UTC 
I think that /usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/printconf.mo is unchanged since
FC4, so this seems to be an rhpl bug.
Comment 6 Daniel Malmgren 2005-07-06 09:39:57 UTC 
Yep. At a closer examination I get the same error on all the system-config-*
stuff when my locale is set to swedish.
Comment 7 Daniel Malmgren 2005-07-08 13:45:32 UTC 
Ok. Fixed in rhpl 0.169. Closing.
