Maybe the locale is missing from your system :-?
Well that's where my 'side' issue (my self-hijack) came (comes?) in.
It works for me on 11.0 and 11.2.
Last time for sure I know all was right was 10.3, though I thought it worked in 11.1. I show
What's the exact output of locale? I once had problems and it turned out I had made a silly mistake when writing the env.

This corresponds to me setting RC_LANG="en_US.UTF.8" in /etc/sysconfig/language. If I set "en_US", I get no error, and all of the above say en_US instead of en_US.UTF-8. But then other things that expect UTF-8 don't work correctly (or disable UTF-8 because it isn't in my locale string). See why I went side ways on the bug? This info in this 'bug' doesn't make sense, but in looking for files like the lines in /usr/lib/locale...there I see files for en_US.utf8 -- the only place I find a utf8 for windows. In /usr/share/local, I have only en and en_US, but no en_US.UTF-8 (or anything else for that manner). That's how I finally stumbled onto the package problem -- though it's with an x11 package and I'm not in X11...but looking at that I hoped that solving it might clear up something that might lead me in some positive direction becaue just staring at the problems with the locale alone lead me to a blank. Sorry, if it seems like I go in different directions -- they start out related. just that if I'm stumped on one front, I try to solve problems on another hoping something will affect the logjam at the first. -linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
