Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-01-29 08:45:51 EST

Description of problem:

$ LANG=pa virt-df --help
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = (unset),
	LC_ALL = (unset),
	LANG = "pa"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
[...]

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

1.0.82

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set LANG=pa
2. Run one of the Perl tools like virt-df.
3.
  
Actual results:

Big warning message, and programs are not localized.

Expected results:

Perl programs should be localized.

Additional info:

I suspect this is actually a bug in perl-libintl, or else we're not
using it right.  'strace' shows it looking in some very strange
places for some very strange files.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-01-29 12:17:10 EST

Bug 559962 has been fixed upstream.  It is possible (but not verified)
that this will fix this bug too.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-05-12 09:31:36 EDT

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-05-18 09:43:47 EDT

Confirmed this works for me with libguestfs 1.3.13:

$ LANGUAGE=es virt-tar
virt-tar: no se han ofrecido imágenes, nombres MV, directorios o nombres de archivo
$ LANGUAGE=es virt-inspector foo
foo no es el nombre de un dominio libvirt
