--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.3-3.1 Severity: normal Tags: l10n If LANGUAGE contains a non-english language code (and LANG is set), aptitude will show the non-english translation even though english is preferred: env - LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en:en_US:C:de_DE:de aptitude search wmakerconf-data p wmakerconf-data - Daten f�r wmakerconf, das Window Maker Kon It doesn't happen if LANG is unset (i.e. it behaves as documented [1]): sascha.silbe@twin:~$ env - LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en:en_US:C:de_DE:de aptitude search wmakerconf-data p wmakerconf-data - Data files for wmakerconf, a configuration LC_CTYPE needs to be set to get UTF-8 output, otherwise the output is garbled/incomplete. It doesn't affect the translation selection. I couldn't trigger the same behaviour in plain gettext (e.g. by running "gettext --help"), so I'm filing this against aptitude.

--- Begin Message ---tags 595242 + unreproducible stop Hi, I tried to reproduce this bug with 0.6.8.3-1 from unstable, but could not. I don't know if I am doing something wrong though. First I had to enable the locale with "dpkg-reconfigure locales" to make german translations work, but maybe I am missing other configuration from your system. Also, this bug was submitted long ago, it might have been triggered due to other specific problems or characteristics of the versions of the software used by that time. So I think that it's better to close this report now, but if it persists and you still can interact to try to find a solution, please reopen the bug again. In any case, thanks for the report and sorry that it was not handled in a more timely manner. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <[email protected]>
