Package: coreutils Version: 8.13-3.1 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) resp. ./po/de.po & ./po/de.gmo belong to package 'coreutils', not 'locales', so this is a coreutils problem. As coreutils 8.16 source at gnu.org still contains the mentionedabove multibuggy string, I've reported the problem at debbugs.gnu.org, too - but it may be in the interest of Debian to correct this in distribution packages before 8.17 or so migrates to sid/testing. Hint: /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo of coreutils 8.13-3.1 contains several other typos/mistake! Best regards, C.
