XBMC - no skin works

Hello.

I gotta problem with my xbmc. Whatever skin I install, xbmc won't apply it (thought it's listed in settings).
It displays message in the bottom of (each) settings dialog saying "Incomplatible skin. We require skin of version 2,10 or higher" (with the comma, not dot).
When I start xbmc, it apparently uses Confluence, but when I try to switch to another skin (2.10 or 2.11), the above message is shown.
When I then select Confluence again, the same message is still there, odly enough. The GUI is never changed whatsoever, though.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
kralyk

EDIT:
I somewhat resolved this.
In each skin's skin.xml file I replace '.' (dot) by ',' (comma) and it works. This is most probably a localization problem,
as comma is used as a decimal point in my country/locale.

Yes that is the issue.

Re: XBMC - no skin works

Allright,
much better solution for this is to launch xbmc with this command:

LC_ALL="C" xbmc

But still, bug should be reported. Ill do it if when I have time...
