Package: gnome-terminal Version: 3.12.3-2 Followup-For: Bug #746415 i'm seeing the same error where gnome-terminal refuses to start in a non-UTF-8 locale. In fact, on a machine that doesn't even have the locales package installed, i can install gnome-terminal.
This suggests to me that there is (at least) a missing dependency (gnome-terminal Depends: locales) and that gnome-terminal should also produce a warning dialog box giving the user some clue rather than silently terminating. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.20.0-2 ii gconf-service 3.2.6-3 ii gnome-terminal-data 3.12.3-2 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.12.2-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.12.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-10 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.16-3 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-3 ii libdconf1 0.20.0-2 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.6-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.8-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.40.0-5 ii libgtk-3-0 3.12.2-3+b1 ii libnautilus-extension1a 3.12.2-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.6-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.6-1 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.8 ii libvte-2.90-9 1:0.36.3-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.8.6-2 ii gvfs 1.20.3-1 ii yelp 3.12.0-1 gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
