Bug 23174 – Broken Language Support in OpenOffice 1.0.3-r1 ebuild?

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Johannes Ballé 2003-06-20 07:52:31 UTC]

When emerging openoffice-1.0.3-r1, portage always selects Language "01" and
outputs the following message:

 * ****************************************************************
 *          Your language is not supported by OpenOffice,
 *              falling back to default value !!!
 * ****************************************************************

It does not matter whether I set LANGUAGE to "de" or "49". I even tried setting
LANGUAGE to "01" and unsetting LANGUAGE altogether, but I still got the same
message.

N.B. LANGUAGE is set to "de_DE" in my system config. Is LANGUAGE even the right
variable to use for this purpose?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge openoffice

or

LANGUAGE="de" emerge openoffice

or

LANGUAGE="49" emerge openoffice

or

unset LANGUAGE
emerge openoffice

Where is your other LANGUAGE variable set? What does
"LANGUAGE=49 emerge openoffice" have as result?

Duplicate of bug 44209. Surprised a bug as long standing as this has not yet been fixed.

openoffice-1.1.3 is the current version and it works fine there
