After upgrading to glibc-2.4 (from vanilla sources) I have encountered a problem
that affects various programs (in my case at least xine and samba): When
launching the program I get the following error:
smbclient: gconv_db.c:232: __gconv_release_step: Assertion `step->__end_fct ==
((void *)0)' failed.
I discovered that setting LC_CTYPE to en_US/AU or any utf8-based locale allows
the program to continue normally. Unfortunately I live in Greece (el_GR) and I
am not currently able to migrate to utf8. As an interesting sidenote, "C" and
"en" are broken with regard to this error. I could not find any other references
to this, but I suppose that most distributions ship with utf8 as a default now.
My system used to be a Mandrake-10.0, but has now been upgraded with various
packages either from Mandriva or self-compiled. As part of the glibc setup I
have installed all available locales, so it definitely not a missing localedata
problem.
Package versions:
linux-2.6.16.7
linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0
glibc-2.4
gcc-3.4.4

Theodoros Kalamatianos

Most likely just the same samba bug as in bug 2569.
