Package: glade-gnome Version: 2.12.1-7 Severity: minor Tags: l10n See bug #404969 for the background on this report. Glade appears to be referencing a file that does not exist. The file gets listed in the .pot file for the project when it is not referenced or listed in any of the glade files or other project files.
e.g. for the project deb-gview, the pot file contains numerous references to ../deb-gview.glade.h when no such file exists. CVS for deb-gview: http://alioth.debian.org/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/dpkg-view/?cvsroot=dpkg-view This came to light because I put a string in the Translated By field for an AboutDialog. When this field is empty, glade generates the gettext markup in src/interface.c - if the field contains any content, glade puts that content into src/interface.c but does not mark the string for translation - YET, because of this mysterious deb-gview.glade.h "file", the entered string DOES appear in the .pot file and in the .po files, but it can never be accessed in the application because the executable cannot find the unknown file, foo.glade.h This error is completely silent, until a translator notices that the application does not specify their name under About|Credits|Translators. No build errors, no runtime errors to the console, nothing. After removing the content from the field in the GUI and rebuilding the glade components, the .pot file still contains references to the missing file: #. TRANSLATORS: Replace this string with your names, one name per line. #: ../src/interface.c:46 ../deb-gview.glade.h:16 msgid "translator-credits" msgstr "" $ pwd /opt/working/deb-gview/po $ ls ../deb-gview.glade.h ls: ../deb-gview.glade.h: No such file or directory $ grep -c "deb-gview.glade.h" *.po* deb-gview.pot:14 en_GB.po:14 fr.po:14 The glade files used by deb-gview are in CVS, URL above. I can attach them here, if requested. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages glade-gnome depends on: ii glade-common 2.12.1-7 Common files for GTK+ 2 User Inter ii gnome-common 2.12.0-2 common scripts and macros to devel ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-6 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libavahi-client3 0.6.15-2 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.15-2 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.15-2 Avahi glib integration library ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-3 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.14.0-5 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libesd0 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgail-gnome-module 1.1.3-3 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgconf2-4 2.16.0-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.2.3-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.6.0-3 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.16.0-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-2+b1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.14.2-4 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgnutls13 1.4.4-3 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgpg-error0 1.4-2 library for common error values an ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liborbit2 1:2.14.4-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libtasn1-3 0.3.6-2 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-5 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.27.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-5 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages glade-gnome recommends: ii autoconf 2.61-3 automatic configure script builder pn automake1.4 <none> (no description available) ii gettext 0.16.1-1 GNU Internationalization utilities ii libgail17 1.8.11-4 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgnomeui-dev 2.14.1-2+b1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
