Bug 31774 – emerge of blackbox fails with USE="nls"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Marc Ozon 2003-10-22 15:20:51 UTC]

Attempts to emerge blackbox with "nls" among the USE flags always fail with
translation errors.  Emerge works without problems, with USE="-nls".  I've been
able to reproduce this on ppc and x86.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  "emerge blackbox"
Actual Results:  
emerge fails.  Output is the same on both ppc and x86:

>>> emerge (1 of 1) x11-wm/blackbox-0.62.1-r3 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) blackbox-0.62.1.tar.gz

>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking blackbox-0.62.1.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/blackbox-0.62.1-r3/work

Forgot to mention, this problem has turned up in the forums:  http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=98655

[Comment 2 Brandon Hale (RETIRED) 2003-10-22 21:22:05 UTC]

Please set LC_ALL to your appropriate locale, eg LC_ALL="de_DE" to avoid
building all translations. The Dutch translation in upstream Blackbox is
broken.
