Summary: alpine: Missing umlaut in date column: our_strftime does not always return utf8-encoded strings Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kdevel@vogtner.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: ---

User-Agent:

Alpine does not correctly encode non-utf-8-data from locale's time and date formatting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce: 1. open console/xterm with 8-Bit character encoding (i.e. ISO-8859-1) 2. start alpine with LANG=de_DE@euro 3. have an e-mail in your inbox with a date of March. Actual Results: The Date displayed is "M"

Expected Results: "Mär"

strftime may return non-utf8 data if operated in a non-utf8 environment. In The non-WINDOWS-case no change of encoding to utf8 is performed in our_strftime (pith/string.c) but utf8 is expected from functions calling our_strftime.

User-Agent:

Alpine does not correctly encode non-utf-8-data from locale's time and date formatting.

Alpine uses UTF8 but in order to work, certain conditions must be met:

* the locale must be UTF8 * the terminal must be able to display utf8

as you can see, your locale and your terminal are not utf8 capable, hence you get bad results. This is expected. If your locale and terminal are utf8 and you are having problems, then that is something that needs to be fixed.

What is the output of the 'locale' command? set everything to utf-8.

--- Comment #5 from Reinhard Max max@novell.com 2010-06-18 19:05:01 CEST --- I can reproduce this with

LANG=de_DE@euro xterm -e alpine

But I wonder why you want to use alpine that way given that UTF-8 has been the default encoding for quite a number of years now.

--- Comment #6 from Stefan For Personal Use kdevel@vogtner.de 2010-06-18 17:19:43 UTC --- One of the first things I do after a new OS installation is to change the default character encoding to the reliable latin9 encoding. If I see an "ο" I know that it is "LATIN SMALL LETTER O" and not "GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON".

--- Comment #7 from Reinhard Max max@suse.com 2011-10-11 17:35:06 CEST --- I finally got around to fix this for abbreviated and non-abbreviated month names for openSUSE 12.1.

Backports of the package to older SUSE releases are available from the server:mail project in the Open Build Service.
