Package: mnemosyne
Version: 1.2-r1-1
File: /usr/bin/mnemosyne
Severity: normal
I recently upgraded both mnemosyne and libc (to the new 2.9 version in
unstable, 2.9-6). Now, for the first time, mnemosyne fails to start if
no locale environment variables are set, which is the way my
environment is generally configured. Setting LANG or LC_ALL explicitly
to "C" doesn't help. But if I set LC_ALL or LANG to "en_US", mnemosyne
starts normally.
Here's the error message that's printed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/mnemosyne", line 12, in <module>
from mnemosyne.core import basedir, get_config, set_config, \
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/mnemosyne/core/__init__.py", line 1,
in <module>
from mnemosyne_core import *
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/mnemosyne/core/mnemosyne_core.py",
line 70, in <module>
home = os.path.expanduser("~").decode(locale.getdefaultlocale()[1])
TypeError: decode() argument 1 must be string, not None
Since I was able to guess an appropriate workaround from the error
message, this isn't a serious obstacle to me. And I think that these
days, having a locale set explicitly is the more common configuration.
But I suspect there must be a fairly straightforward change to the
code to fix this.
