Detecting gettext version in runtime and adding --use-untranslated accordingly? I could provide a patch for this, but it will be a hack (and I am not very used to lintian internals so the patch quality will be unknown. > If not, are you absolutely certain that this version of gettext will make > it into etch? Who, me? :) Not at all. gettext is currently frozen. http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gettext.html Perhaps gettext maintainer can say more (CC-ed). However, if gettext doesn't enter testing and you upload lintian version, depending on gettext >= 0.16, it will not make it to Etch either (because of getext staying out). There will be a problem for Etch only if gettext enters testing, but lintian doesn't. The other possible problem case is what we have now in unstable. Maybe debian-release may give some ideas how best to solve this? dam, going to bed - -- Damyan Ivanov Modular Software Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone +359(2)928-2611, 929-3993 fax +359(2)920-0994 mobile +359(88)856-6067 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Gaim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFbguiHqjlqpcl9jsRAugcAKCn3u8s3e3addJLvDcBF3czkb3ZeQCaArCj J6GUF+U/NEsa409YeaZamiU= =vHnx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
