SOFTWARE VERSION: Nokia N900 Maemo 5 Version: 2.2009.51-1 EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 1. Add the Bulgarian language to the device languages using X terminal: $ sudo gainroot # add_remove_language add bg_BG 2. (Optional) Copy any localized .mo files to /usr/share/locale/bg/LC_MESSAGES/ or copy the default ones from /usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/ # mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/bg/LC_MESSAGES/ # cp /usr/share/local/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo /usr/share/locale/bg/LC_MESSAGES/ 3. Start the settings application and select "Language & region" 4. Set both "Device Language" and "Regional Settings" to Bulgarian. 5. Reboot the device 6. Start Calendar application. Click "New Event" EXPECTED OUTCOME: The New event dialog shows and new events can be added, ACTUAL OUTCOME: The Calendar application closes with an "Internal Error. Application 'Calendar' closed" REPRODUCIBILITY: ALWAYS EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: This is the output of: dpkg-query -W -f='${Package}-${Version} ${Status} ${Section}\n' | grep installed | grep user | sed 's/install ok.*//' 3g2g-mode-selection-applet-0.4 account-plugin-butterfly-0.8 account-plugin-haze-0.8 account-plugin-salut-0.8 angrybirds-1.1.0 catorise-0.7.4 conky-1.6.1-0maemo5-1.1 countdowntimer-0.5-2 cpumem-applet-0.0.3 decoders-support-0.3.4-1 fennec-1.0.0 flashlight-applet-0.3-2 fmradio-2010.01.15 freoffice-0.2-1 headphoned-1.6 hermes-0.2.2 kmplayer-0.10.3-1 maemo-geolocation-1.1.3-1 maepad-1.0 mp-fremantle-generic-pr-2.2009.51-1 mplayer-1.0svn20091221-4 ogg-support-1.0.5 omweather-0.24.12 omweather-weather-com-stations-db-0.9.12 openssh-1:5.1p1-6.maemo5 openssh-client-1:5.1p1-6.maemo5 openssh-server-1:5.1p1-6.maemo5 personal-gprs-mon-0.5-5 purple-extra-protocols-2.6.3-6nix0 rootsh-1.5 sharing-service-pixelpipe-1.1.00.4 simple-brightness-applet-1.1-1maemo0 simple-fmtx-widget-0.3.0 telepathy-extras-0.8 thai-ttf-0.4.13-1 tickstill-1.0.4 ttf-droid-1.01-dfsg0maemo3 tunewiki-community-1.0.4 ukeyboard-2.1-1 xulrunner-1.9.2.1+rc1 OTHER COMMENTS: We were able to identify exactly what part of the localization triggers the crash. It is related to the somehow with the definitions inside LC_TIME, which is switched to bg_BG only if you set "Device Language" to Bulgarian. Thats why this problem does not exist if you only set Regional settings to Bulgarian. I think that this itself is a bug, as LC_TIME is part of the regional settings and should be switched. After the reboot when the LC_TIME in /etc/osso-af-init/locale is set to bg_BG in X terminal: #locale -k LC_TIME | grep d_fmt d_fmt="%e.%m.%Y" This is the definition that triggers the crash and more specificaly the %e part of it. According to date man page: "%e day of month, space padded; same as %_d" I was able to workaround this by modifying the /usr/lib/locale/locale-achive with hex editor (I have no knowledge how to rebuild this file) found that string and replaced it with standard %d. So after modifying the file the output of "locale -k LC_TIME | grep d_fmt" looks like: #locale -k LC_TIME | grep d_fmt d_fmt="%d.%m.%Y" If this could help - this definition also affects (crashes) Settings -> Date and Time.

Thanks for the perfect bug report! Confirming also in the internal version 2010.05-4.
This has been fixed in package libhildon 2.2.14-1+0m5 which is part of the internal build version 10.2010.08-14 (Note: 2009/2010 is the year, and the number after is the week.) A future public update released with the year/week later than this internal build version will include the fix. (This is not always already the next public update.) Please verify that this new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time. To answer popular followup questions: * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance. * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions. A Brainstorm proposal to change this exists at http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/undelayed_bugfix_releases_for_nokia_open_source_packages-002/
Setting explicit PR1.2 milestone (so it's clearer in which public release the fix will be available to users). Sorry for the bugmail noise (you can filter on this message).
