Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.6-1
Severity: important
gdm used wrong initialization of LANGUAGE variable. After this, there is
some strange bugs in debconf etc. See Bug#288852 (for wajig) for example.
I mean this fragmen of /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession:
if [ -n "$LANGUAGE" ]; then
if [ "$LANGUAGE" != "$LANG" ]; then
LANGUAGE="$LANG"
fi
else
unset LANGUAGE
fi
In my installation of sarge, installer set LANGUAGE to "ru_RU:ru:en_GB:en", but in any X session I get LANGUAGE=ru_RU.KOI8-R. It's wrong - language must be ru or ru_RU.
I think, gdm must not touch all these variables in debian. I think this comment (and following section) isn't for Debian
# Normalize languages, some places/distros screw us up in /etc/profile, #
so in case the user did select a language
After thise@ "normalization" we have problems :-((
