Package: scrollkeeper
Version: 0.3.14-10
Severity: normal
This bug report comes from another one related to Yelp:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=345563
It seems that Scrollkeeper crashes when the LANGUAGE
environment variable is set to a compound value, e.g.:
LANGUAGE=es_ES:es:en_GB:en
See also reference thread (from Ubuntu):
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/yelp/+bug/18434
In the particular case of Yelp - which uses Scrollkeeper -
this seems to force the rendering of a blank "Help topics"
page, when running "Help" menu item in Gnome "Desktop"
menu.
Yelp works well if run from the console with the following
command:
LANGUAGE=es_ES yelp
Please investigate this problem as it may make unusable
other Debian packages.
