Hello Loïc,
Thanks to you!
Oct 15 00:44:53 <lool> anibal: Hmm rereading the postinst snippet I
proposed for gparted, it might actually be
more correct to use lt-nl rather than lt
Oct 15 00:45:15 <lool> nothing too dramatic, but might cause the fix
to run on initial install
Oct 15 00:45:25 <lool> or on reinstall rather
I'll replace the "lt" with "lt-nl" in the next upload of gparted.
Thanks again for your help.
The postinst that went into gparted 0.3.9-3 is:
