Package: po-debconf Version: 1.0.8 Severity: normal Recent version of gettext default to create a backup file when running msgmerge to merge PO files with a POT file.
This results in debian/po/*~ files when debconf-updatepo is run in the clean target of packages in case some of these PO files were not synced with the POT file before. I think that debconf-updatepo should default to no backup for PO files. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages po-debconf depends on: ii gettext 0.16.1-1 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages po-debconf recommends: ii libcompress-zlib-perl 1.42-2 Perl module for creation and manip ii libmail-sendmail-perl 0.79-4 Send email from a perl script -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
