By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Guilllermo 2009-07-02 21:51:42 CDT

When trying to run k3b I got this message: "Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode filenames) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this has been done intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting will result in problems when creating data projects."

After running the locale command I got: 

LANG=
LC_CTYPE="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_AR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

I "fixed" this by manually setting LANG and LC_ALL in /etc/profile but that's kinda dirty. 

I've also read somewhere else (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/369156) that setting the locale doesn't work on jaunty kde3, since I don't know how to set the locales via kde after the initial installation I can't test that.

I hope this info helps

Fixed in Karmic.

Thanks for reporting!
