This is a problem in sim ICQ client. I have English locale in my kde box and I write messages in russian with cyrillic encoding (cyr1251). If I change locale to French, then I don't see any messages at all: no dates, no text, no history. This is an example of console's output: Entity: line 1: error: Bytes: 0xE9 0x63 0x65 0x6D 330</from><id>00000</id><time><date>Mardi 14 D ^ 00:45:37 [WRN] Parse XML error: <?xml version="1.0"?><message direction="0"><icon>message</icon><from>00000</from><id>00000</id><time><date>Mardi 14 Decembre 2004</date><hour>22</hour><minute>46</minute><second>34</second></time><body fgcolor="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff"><a name="b"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial"><span style="color:#000000">Всё!</span></span></body></message> Entity: line 1: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Re-assign.
I've added svn snapshot of sim into portage tree (0.9.4_pre060114). It's still hard masked. You may wish to test and report if this bug is fixed. To emerge sim you need to unmask it with the following commands echo "net-im/sim" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask echo "net-im/sim ~arch" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords where arch is your either x86 or amd64. Then emerge sim. Feedback is wellcome. :)
sim-0.9.4_pre060131.ebuild is in portage. Check if you can reproduce this bug. If you can reopen.
