Timestamp for pidgin indications does not respect locale

[Sune Keller]

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04

2) $ apt-cache policy indicator-applet
indicator-applet:
  Installed: 0.1.3-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.1.3-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.1.3-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) I expected the time stamp next to the indication of a new IM in pidgin to be in my chosen locale (24h clock), i.e. "14:33"

4) The time stamp was in 12h clock format, i.e. "2:33"

In Pidgin, timestamps are shown in regular 24h format, like you would get from running "date +%H:%M:%S" in your preferred terminal. The same goes for timestamps in all other applications, and this is why I believe the fault is with indicator-applet. Please change package if this actually affects pidgin, not indicator-applet.

This occurs on the daily build of the beta

This was fixed with release 0.1.4 of the indicator-messages package. Wrong package so it didn't get auto-updated. Thanks for taking the time to report it!
