Exaile breaks with language-pack is missing.

Seems like a bug in our (or Ubuntu's) package scripts.

Just curious, does Exaile still run after that message? (It should, but just making sure.)

Negative. It doesn't run.

I've made a change to the code that will let Exaile run even with this error, but the correct fix should probably be in the package dependencies.

kahrytan,

Thanks for reporting this bug. I've got a few questions that will hopefully help get this fixed in Ubuntu.

What version of Exaile are you running? Am I correct in assuming version 0.2.11.1-0ubuntu3 on Hardy? If you don't know please post the output of running "apt-cache policy exaile" in a terminal. Also which language-pack did you need to reinstall in order to resolve your issue?

 Johannes,

What package do you suggest be added to the Depends?

For reference, the specific revision with the fix:

Hi Andrew,

> What package do you suggest be added to the Depends?

Er... not sure really. I assume that ``locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,
'')`` line wouldn't fail if the appropriate language pack is
installed. But isn't the language pack installed by default anyway?
(And isn't it the dependency of lots of other apps?)

Johannes, What if the language pack was removed though? Exaile stayed installed while language pack was removed. Exaile should depend on meta language pack that also depends on with one language pack.

I have reproduced this bug. And it's easy to do.

Remove the package language-pack-*-base. Replace * with whatever language package that is installed. Mine is english. Now run exaile. This bug will crop up in terminal.

I have tested and it was working for me.
This is not a problem with language packs but with exaile.

This problem can be reproduced by running this command:

$ LANG=test exaile
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/exaile/exaile.py", line 56, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/exaile/exaile.py", line 51, in main
    from xl import main
  File "/usr/lib/exaile/xl/main.py", line 39, in <module>
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 513, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
