Description Need Real Name 2002-12-13 06:05:07 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; fr-FR; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823
Netscape/7.0

Description of problem:
By running xcdroast on a fresh RH80 with french language, it fails
immediately with the message df -k bad output...

This is due to the output of df as follows:

Systeme de 
Fichiers Tail. Util. Disp. Uti. Monte sur
/dev/hda3 .....
/dev/hda( ....

Note the line break between "Systeme de"  and "Fichiers"

FIX 1:
I have to run xcdroast in english using the following script:

#!/bin/sh
LANG=en_US
export $LANG
xcdroast

FIX 2:
I edited binary file /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/fileutils.mo
and replaced the line break at offset 111e6 by a space. 
Now I can run xcdroast in french ;-)

I had to remove all "accentuated" french characters from the description, since
I got a Software error (invalid unicode characters ...) at globals.pl when 
pressing the button "Commit".

This xcdroast bug is fixed in rawhide.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 76341 ***

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2002-12-20 05:04:05 EST

Although I am glad you marked this one as fixed, I am quite surprisedabout the fix you propose on rawhide.   You patched xcdroast ... but the culprit is the french translationprovided for the df command in fileutils.mo ... so additionnal bugs may appear in the future with other utilities relying on the output of df .  I would suggest to patch fileutils package once for good instead ofproviding fixes to utilities that seems otherwise good.Season greetings.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2002-12-20 05:29:24 EST

You are incorrect; any utility expecting a particular format of output must
specify a locale first.  That's what xcdroast now does ('LANG=C df'.

Comment 5 Need Real Name 2002-12-20 08:02:08 EST

Ok. You know best...

But still I do not understand with the french df output two lines
of headers instead of one:
French df:

Systeme de
Fichiers
/dev/hda1/ ..........

English df:

Filesystem
/dev/hda1/....

Season greetings.
