This one time, at band camp, martin f krafft said:> After creating a user with the de_DE locale, j is not accepted, only > y is.Do you have perl installed (or more specifically, do you have I18N::Langinfo on your system)? It''s an optional module that we conditionally load. If it''s not loaded, input in locales other than English doesn''t work, unsurprisingly. If you do have that installed, let me know and I''ll dig through the logic there - there were some recent changes, so it''s possible I''ve introduced a bug. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''''`.
