Dear Srs,

I'm starting to use kmymoney to bring a bit of order to my finances. I
need to use CSV import to get my bank an credit card statements into
the database, and I'm having troble with something that appears to be
a known bug: missing decimals in imported data:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=646206
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668458

I'm running vanilla i386 debian wheezy, which has kmymoney 4.6.2, so a took a
look in newer kmymoney release notes, and saw that a decimal symbol
related bug was solved, according to this:
http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/release-4.6.3.html
...and this:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312181

Thus, I made a backport of kmymoney 4.6.4, from debian testing version,
and installed it in my system. The backport itself worked, but the import issue
remains: no decimal symbol at all (tested CSVs with both "comma" and
"colon" as decimal symbol, and using both "TAB" and "semicolon" as
field separator. The CSVs were generated using LibreOffice, and
modified with awk, to get proper formatting.

Any ideas? Am I overlooking anything obvious and essential?
Thank you very much
João
