2 questions:

1) Was this an upgrade from a previous install?

2) What does /etc/sysconfig/i18n contain?

Comment 2 Michael Goll 2002-11-15 22:27:14 UTC
Hi,

Thanks for the tip

Here's what I had in /etc/sysconfig/i18n

#LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANG="en_US"
#LANG must be a two letter ISO code per sysconfig.txt
#LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-15"
SUPPORTED="fr_FR@euro:en_US"
SYSFONT="lat0-16"
SYSFONTACM="iso15"

When I removed everything except the LANG="en_US" line, redhat-config-language
worked and created this:

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

Do you suppose it could at least issue an error message along the lines of 
"Unable to process format of /etc/sysconfig/i18n"?

Thanks!

Take care...
Michael

The problem is that the "@euro" on the end of the 'fr_FR@euro' is confusing the
parser.  I will try to fix this now.

Comment 4 Brent Fox 2002-12-15 16:01:29 UTC
Should be fixed in redhat-config-language-1.0.1-10.  Thanks for your report. 
QA, please verify.

Comment 5 Brent Fox 2003-05-25 14:30:28 UTC
There is a stack of 64 bugs that have been in Modified state for a long period
of time.  I am closing these as Rawhide now.  If you find that the issue is not
fixed, please reopen this report.
