Added karmic-proposed repository per instructions, sudo apt-get upgraded, tested.
Seems to work fine for me on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic amd64. Specifics: dpkg -l python2.6 show3s it installed: ii python2.6 2.6.4-0ubuntu3 An interactive high-level object-oriented language (version 2.6) for i in $(locale -a) ; do echo $i ; LANG=$i python -c "import locale; print locale.getdefaultlocale()" || break ; done runs to completion, on a machine with all available language packs installed (so LOTS of locales). So does for i in $(locale -a) ; do echo $i ; LANG=$i python -c "import locale; locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")" || break ; done Running software-center works as expected. No issues observed (in admittedly fairly minimal testing). -- locale._parse_localename fails when localename does not contain encoding information (was: alacarte crashed with ValueError in _parse_localename() ) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
