Hi Hplip developers!
Mark brought to my attention that he does not know of a upstream fix for
the locale dependency reported in
http://bugs.debian.org/467117
and lots of other bug reports.
I offered to inform upstream about this issue, but didn't do it till now.
But there appears to be an upstream bug report as well:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/225970
So I kinly ask: What is the status of this issue? Do you intend to fix the
locale dependency? I search for "locale" in my mailing list archive but
didn't find anything.
Only other option I see would be to start hp-toolbox via a wrapper script
that sets english locale, but then all others would get a completely
english hp-toolbox.
Better fix would be just to start external commands using english or "C"
locale so that parsing their output works all the time. (Even better
would be to avoid parsing output of external commands... but thats a
different story.)
Yes, I seen that this mailinglist shall not be used anymore for
questions... thus I will also use "Ask a question" on the launchpad
projekt site for hplip... but since I wrote the mail completely now and
Debians bug tracking system loves mails, I will send it nonetheless.
Regards,
Martin

Martin,
As you might of seen from the BTS there are a lot of related reports about
using non english locales. I have linked these to the upstream reports.
However, there doesn't appear to be much action on this issue upstream.
If you can bring up on the other support forum that would be great.
Mark

Thanks. If need be I could help debugging... I am subcribe to
hplip-help-ml and could bring up that bug report there. And was not quite
sure whether to report upstream myself and then found that existing
debian bug report...
