I don't use locales, so I can't do a proper test. Apparently the fix works, but I can't get checkinstall to appear translated here :s. Using gettext directly does show fixed messages, but checkinstall won't translate anything here. A 2 line fix makes checkinstall translate everything, so I wonder why it does translate on your system (it shouldn't, since the strings passed to gettext aren't the same ones that appear on the po files). -- Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
