Description Göran Uddeborg 2001-01-19 09:17:34 UTC 
Recent versions of gnupg, like 1.0.4-9, includes translated messages. 
Recent versions of gettext, like that from glibc 2.2, translates fetched
messages to the used character set.  If no character set has been choosen
with setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ...), a plain US-ASCII is assumed.  Any characters
not in this set is replaced with question marks.  This happens to the
Swedish messages for gpg.

The 1.0.4-9 SRPM includes a patch for this, gnupg-1.0.2-locale.patch (patch
#0).  But for some reason this patch isn't applied.  Why not?
Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2001-01-20 23:45:46 UTC 
GnuPG depends on collation data for the C locale, so the patch would cause
things to break.  We kept it in the package for future reference.
