• Bug#265225: openoffice.org-debian-files: Setting and exporting LANG see

    Package: openoffice.org-debian-files
    Version: 1.1.2-3+1
    Severity: important

    Hello,

    In my system setup, I set LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.UTF-8 while leaving all
    other locale related variables to default. This way I can use a Chinese
    input server such as SCIM and FCITX to type in Chinese under X-Windows
    but still have an English user interface. However, this doesn't work
    under OpenOffice where I cannot activate the input server even if I set LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.UTF-8. I've found that the problem seems to have been
    caused by setting and exporting of LANG environment variable within the openoffice script. Removing the following two lines fixed the problem
    for me:

    LANG=$LOCALE
    export LANG

    Also, after making this modification, I found that the openoffice script
    no longer spat out:

    I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale ""

    during starting-up. Everything worked perfectly afterward.

    Regards,
    David Zhu

    P.S. Originally I posted this bug report as a follow-up of bug #248030,
    but apparently it went unnoticed, so I'm posting it again as a new bug.
