Thanks to textshell on IRC who found the relevant code, which allowed me to create a patch to solve the problem below:
https://salsa.debian.org/l10n-team/dl10n/-/merge_requests/11 What is the best way to submit a proper bug report and patch? For some reason it seems the 'dl10n' package is not in Debian?! Where should bug reports go? https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dl10n I'm attaching the patch for easier email-based review. /Simon Simon Josefsson <[email protected]> writes: > Hi! > > I dropped the 'Priority: optional' field from the debian/control Source > stanza for 'cppi' in the last upload, and now i18n.debian.org says I > have an error in my *.po files?! > > https://i18n.debian.org/l10n-pkg-status/c/cppi.html > > The following errors were found in cppi 's PO files: > > source does not specify a priority > > > Any ideas? > > /Simon >
