Description Debarshi Ray 2007-08-14 06:14:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

Pirut crashes on every attempt to list the packages (not groups) on Fedora's
Bengali (LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8) desktop.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pirut-1.3.10-1


How reproducible:

Launch Pirut with LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8, and chose the 'List' tab or try to view the
packages within each group.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch Pirut as: # LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8 pirut
2. Click the 'List' tab.

  
Actual results:

Pirut crashes. Traceback given below.


Expected results:

Available and installed packages should be listed as they are with LANG=en_US.UTF-8.


Additional info:

Here is the backtrace obtained after the crash:
http://rishi.fedorapeople.org/pirut.trace

There is no such problem with versions 1.3.9 and below. Here is a 'diff -urNp'
between versions 1.3.9 and 1.3.10:

Comment 1 sankarshan 2007-08-14 09:25:16 UTC 
Yes, I can confirm this as happening with regularity. Obtained trace is similar
to http://rishi.fedorapeople.org/pirut.trace
Comment 2 sankarshan 2007-08-14 09:29:56 UTC 
Tested with the French locale, Pirut works as expected.
Comment 3 sankarshan 2007-08-14 09:35:49 UTC 
Crashes with similar trace for the Bengali (bn_BD) locale. Does that help in
going along the debugging of this issue ?
Comment 4 Runa Bhattacharjee 2007-08-14 09:52:09 UTC 
Tested with the following locales:

bn=failed
bn_IN = failed
hi= failed
gu=failed
el=failed
en_US=success

Doesnt seem to be a translation bug.
Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2007-08-14 14:58:57 UTC 
It's a bug in python's gettext module.  With specspo installed, do 
  LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8 python -c 'import gettext; 
   print gettext.dgettext("redhat-dist", "foo")'

Previously reported upstream at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1448060&group_id=5470
but no real resolution from it
Comment 6 Debarshi Ray 2007-08-22 22:33:34 UTC 
Here is what I get.

[rishi@ginger noarch]$ LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8 python -c 'import gettext; 
> print gettext.dgettext("redhat-dist", "foo")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/gettext.py", line 530, in dgettext

    t = _translations.setdefault(key, class_(open(mofile, 'rb')))

Comment 7 Debarshi Ray 2007-08-22 22:35:46 UTC 
1. Can we have the patch from
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1448060&group_id=5470
in Fedora?

2. pirut-1.3.9 does not have this issue with the same Python package. Can we
revert whatever changed since 1.3.9 in order to have a temporary fix?
Comment 8 Jeremy Katz 2007-08-23 00:55:52 UTC

The comments imply that the patch is wrong, so taking it directly is likely a
bad idea.

Doing so breaks a number of other translation cases, so really isn't ideal
either.  We really just need to fix the bug in python here; the patch is
probably a good start for when James gets back from vacation or I'll end up
taking a look if it's still lingering around test3.

New URL for this upstream is http://bugs.python.org/issue1448060 (also,
http://bugs.python.org/issue1475523 is relevant)
Comment 11 Jeremy Katz 2007-09-10 15:43:39 UTC 
And applied something of a fix for our python package.  I don't see how it can
break after reading the mo file specification for a bit and the gettext code

Comment 18 Debarshi Ray 2007-11-06 06:41:45 UTC 
After updating python (# yum update python*) pirut-1.3.25-2 seems to work fine
for LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8.
Comment 19 marco bernardi 2007-11-06 09:02:45 UTC 
After general update of november 6 (Kernel 2.6.23.1-21.fc7) 

for LANG=it_IT 

yum info <something> => crash
Comment 20 Thomas Müller 2007-11-06 11:14:22 UTC 
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 also causes 'yum info' to crash

thanks.

for F7  python-*2.5-15.fc7 is ok
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=23519

# rpm -qa python* | grep 2.5-15
python-devel-2.5-15.fc7
python-libs-2.5-15.fc7
python-2.5-15.fc7

Comment 24 James Antill 2007-11-09 15:48:24 UTC 
 Yeh, I know, I've requested it ... but it hasn't turned up yet (I assume Fed-8
is slowing the process down).
 Anyway feel free to visit:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F7/pending/python-2.5-15.fc7

...and give it some karma.
Comment 25 Fedora Update System 2007-11-09 23:51:13 UTC 
python-2.5-15.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update python'
