[sword-devel] problem in libsword in indexing Genesis?

Sun Oct 13 18:40:54 EDT 2024

Checked on a focal and a jammy container: I think this is a bug
introduced in BibleTime around version 3

BTW I couldn't get diatheke running on focal, but jammy was consistent with
my debian testing desktop, it worked with hungarian book names.

Last release of BibleTime is 2 years old, last commit in the repo 9 months
ago a typo fix in README -- I don't have high hopes. @Zoltan do you want to
raise the issue or shall I?

Kind regards,
Kristof
