Description Urmas 2019-03-26 07:39:40 UTC
Description of problem: if there is %_install_langs macro defined during the install of chromium-common, the "en-US.pak" locale file may not be installed. That makes the chromium unoperable, as it is the fallback locale, and the browser crashes when it is not found.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set %_install_langs macro to "ru"
2. Install chromium and chromium-common

Actual results:
The browser crashes, as it cannot find the fallback locale.

Expected results:
The browser runs.

Given its special status, the "en-US.pak" must be always installed, as Chromium cannot work if there is no locale file for the current UNIX locale. Unlike gettext software, there no internal default the language filtration by %_install_langs assumes.

Good catch. I'm surprised it took this long to get noticed.
