The problem has been solved.
See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=41013

In fact, it was because of an incorrect configuration in locales, i had not uncommented "fr_FR.UTF8" in locale.gen
Adding UTF-8 locale for my language in /etc/rc.conf has been the only operation needed to solve it.

Maybe putting a message about this point when one install or upgrade the rox package would avoid that kind of tickets ?

This is not a bug. You should use UTF-8 locale (set it in /etc/rc.conf, /etc/locale.gen and generate with locale-gen) if you are using software that outputs any info in UTF-8.
