Bug Description
Binary package hint: python2.5
Praveen P asked question 42309 because they cannot run alacarte with the locale set to ml_IN. When attempting to run alacarte, it terminates with the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/
main()
File "/usr/bin/
app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv)
File "/usr/lib/
self.editor = MenuEditor()
File "/usr/lib/
self.locale = locale.
File "/usr/lib/
return _parse_
File "/usr/lib/
raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: ml_IN
I can confirm this behaviour by executing alacarte the following way:
LC_ALL=ml_IN alacarte
If I execute something like Gedit with this locale, then it appears correctly. Some information about my system:
