While updating the German po translation, I noticed many missing white spaces and some other potential issues. You can also see them in context by searching for FIXME in de.po provided in #1140471.
Thanks for spotting those. The missing spaces turned out to be a systematic error when splitting strings for better presentation in the code.
I think I have fixed them in wip/debian-bug-1140472.
Issue: Reviewer says it should be: No user may be deprived of his primary group membership. Exiting. #: deluser:503 "You may not remove the user from their primary group."
I would like to speak to that reviewer. Translating this back to German would be "Du darfst keinem Benutzer seine primäre Gruppe vorenthalten", and that sounds "geschraubt", even in English. Not being a native speaker of English, I would like to keep it that way, and it also adds a gender issue.
I would be willing to settle on: A user cannot be removed from their primary group, Removing a user from their primary group is not permitted, or A user must belong to a primary group.
-- Issue: cannot → Cannot #: AdduserCommon.pm:198 "cannot open configuration file %s: `%s'\n" -- Issue: Continueing. → Continuing. #: AdduserCommon.pm:367 "`%s' refused the given user name, but --allow-all-names is given. " "Continueing."
Both fixed. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
