Package: make Version: 3.81-7 Severity: wishlist As witnessed by a search on the web, the meaning of the error message "Profiling timer expired" is difficult to understand. I guess, without being fully sure though, that it is caused by the reception of a SIGPROF by make, what (apparently) means that gprof has been used in some recipe. Is that correct? If yes, couldn't a message like "Received the SIGPROF signal when running recipe" or "Received profiling timer expiration from command %s" with the name of the command, or whatever you think is better appropriate, be preferable. Somehow, the same applies to the "Virtual timer expired" message.
The problem has actually been raised on the French translation project mailing list, the message being too difficult to understand in English to be correctly translated. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages make depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries make recommends no packages.
