Japanese input not working anymore after upgrading from 4.3x to ROME

[peter-power-594]

OpenMandriva Lx release 23.03 (ROME) Rolling for x86_64 with KDE X11 - I believe !

OpenMandriva Stars,

I've upgraded yesterday from 4.3x to 5. For now on congratulations, everything is smoothy :-D Open Mandriva 4ever ! Except the japanese input. Fcitx is still working but the fcitx-anthy does not work anymore. Couldn't get log, on terminal something I got Anthy: iconv can't convert from ECJ to internal something like that. I can type in English or French, as soon as I switch the Japanese input, it kind of switching to the next input method.

If anyone can confirm or tell me if it's my desktop please

@peter-power-594 I edit the title as OMLx 5.0 is not officially released yet so it may be misleading.

@peter-power-594 can you try install: locales-extra-charsets and check again

@AngryPenguinPL @rugyada

どうもありがとうございますぅぅぅぅぅ 😎

It's working mates ! ! ! YOU ARE AWESOME 🤗

Added a hard dependency on locales-extra-charsets to fcitx-anthy so installing the package is sufficient now

@rugyada @AngryPenguinPL @berolinux

After multiple testing today, you need the anthy binaries as well (Agent / dict Tool). Don't know exactly how it works but if you don't install it, you won't go far... When starting from an non-asian environment, this anthy package is not installed by default with fcitx-anthy and the Japanese input does not work. Testing on ROME with 2 different machines.

When you installed a full system in Japanese - I didn't do it - I guess anthy is installed because of another package dependency like kasumi and locales-extra-charsets installed by locales-ja or something similar. I didn't find the info with Fedora but the package in Debian flags anthy as a dependency as a reference.

And with my "rolling only" machine (fresh install and Unsupported, Restricted, Non-Free repo are disabled), I don't know if this is related but fcitx-gtk2 won't install as well (not a major issue for me right now just reporting) :

Use the command line with option to exclude *5.240*

[peter-power-594]

@rugyada don't exactly how to do that, or if someone already updated between my try, this morning (24h earlier) running the following command works for me :

sudo dnf --setop=install_weak_deps=false install fcitx-gtk2
