Package: coreutils Version: 8.13 - 8.16 Faults: (only applicable to german localization): When trying to re-create an already created symbolic link, ln's error message contains three faults, one grammatical, one [important] logical one orthographical.
Reproduction: touch ./foo ln -s ./foo ./bar >>>then again: ln -s ./foo ./bar ln: Symbolischen Verknüpfung ./bar konnte angelgt werden: Die Datei existiert bereits. Corrected error message reads like this: ln: Symbolische Verknüpfung ./bar konnte nicht angelegt werden: Die Datei existiert bereits. Corrections: - 1) Symbolische Verknüpfung [...] -> minor important grammatical mistake. - 2) [...] konnte nicht angelgt werden: [...] -> this one is important, the negotiation is missing. - 3) [...] angelegt werden: [...] -> minor important ortographical mistake (typo). whereas original english errStr is correct: LC_ALL=C ln -s ./foo ./bar ln: failed to create symbolic link `bar': File exists File /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo (binary) - (tested using Debian coreutils 8.13-3.1) resp. ./po/de.po & ./po/de.gmo source (8.13, 8.14, 8.15, 8.16) belong to 'coreutils', not 'locales', so this is a coreutils problem. I've reported the problem at bugs.debian.org, too - since it may be in the interest of Debian to correct this in distribution packages before 8.17 or so migrates to sid/testing. Yfyi: German localization files contain several other typos/mistakes. Best regards, C. Brill Frankfurt /Germany
