$ vkeybd      
Error in startup script: no such variable
    (read trace on "env(LANG)")
    invoked from within
"string trim $env(LANG) ."
    (procedure "SearchDefaultLang" line 28)
    invoked from within
"SearchDefaultLang $defkeymap"
    invoked from within
"set optvar(keymap) [SearchDefaultLang $defkeymap]"
    (file "/usr/share/vkeybd/vkeybd.tcl" line 826)
Comment 1 Andreas Schürch gentoo-dev 2010-06-22 11:55:55 UTC 
This only happens when $LANG isn't set. If one follows the localization guide, then this env-variable will be set through /etc/env.d/02locale.

This behavior wasn't the same with current stable... 
Maybe an elog-message if that variable isn't set could be of use!?
Comment 2 Christoph Mende (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-24 18:35:12 UTC 
the same check is there for HOME btw
Comment 3 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-27 17:53:39 UTC 
I've added a postinst message, but it's not the full solution here, so leaving this open.

Mailing upstream now.
