Hi

Holger many thanks for your work, looks like it is running now.


So, if I understood all the stuff you wrote, there is a program that every day 
goes to the Debian archive, copies and unpacks all the packages in there (and 
they are a lot) one by one, to look for po and pot files, them parses these pot 
and po files to generate a database about all the strings it finds translated 
or 
not, them deletes the package and moves to the next one... wow

I had no idea this worked this way...

This make me wonder about the 'why' there always been strange things in these 
lists it generates: 
There are several manpages that end up in the list for UI messages, like for 
example the dgit manpages that are all in the wrong list

Another weird thing, i've translated the debconf for libreoffice e it never 
showed anywhere, but if you do a debcheckout, the po files are all in there.

Looks to me the system does not parse all the packages in the correct way, and 
in some packages (at least libreoffice) it does not even see the po/pot files.

About the nvidia-cuda-toolkit:
synaptic says it has 205Mb
I did a debcheckout and my computer went nuts... in the process it atrophied 
my system, looking like it was under heavy load, despite the cpu meter did not 
show heavy load and it did not use all the memory, but it did stop responding 
normally. It took more than 15 minutes to complete the task and end up with 
24.1 Gb under the directory where I did the debcheckout. 
This is indeed a very weird package... 
Anyway, there is no po/pot files anywhere in this pack, so keep it on the 
blacklist.


Oh, no need to CC me, I receive this mail list

Again, many thanks

Américo Monteiro
