Description of problem: /usr/share/locale/az/LC_MESSAGES/gtk+.mo is encoded in ISO-8859-9E which is not available on Fedora. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtk+-1.2.10-55.fc6 How reproducible: msgunfmt /usr/share/locale/az/LC_MESSAGES/gtk+.mo Steps to Reproduce: 1. msgunfmt /usr/share/locale/az/LC_MESSAGES/gtk+.mo > gtk.po 2. msgconv -t UTF-8 < gtk.po > gtk8.po Actual results: msgconv: <stdin>: warning: Charset "iso-8859-9e" is not a portable encoding name. Message conversion to user's charset might not work. msgconv: present charset "iso-8859-9e" is not a portable encoding name Expected results: PO file converted to UTF-8 Additional info: The underlying problem is that glic does not support ISO-8859-9E. iconv -l confirms this. So either the encoding should be added to glibc, but that seems unneeded as this seems to be the only MO file on the system with problems. The other option is to convert the MO file to UTF-8 (but to do it properly you would need the ISO-8859-9E format specified). Opening this file in vim seems to get the encoding correct but since I cannot tell if the characters are correct or not I cannot be certain.
Since this is a legacy-only package, I'm not sure if any heroic messures are warranted to try to resolve this. Patches are always welcome, of course.
it's been awhile, might as well put this one to rest, CLOSING->WONTFIX. Likely the only/best place to take the issue would be upstream to bugs.gnome.org (then we could at least mark it UPSTREAM)
thanks, good.
