Package: lintian Version: 1.23.41 Severity: normal When a given package has a template that is not completely translated for a given language, lintian issues this warning with:
N: If you translate the Choices:' fields in a template, you should N: translate the 'Description:' field as well The maintainer has actually no real influence on this and, anyway, having a debconf templates that's not fully translated is not harmful at all as po-debconf will then not include that language in translations for that template. In short: a debconf template is shown translated only when all its components are translated. This warning is indeed misleading to some maintainer who think they should *remove* incomplete debconf translations in debian/po which is entirely wrong, of course. For all these reasons, I see no real benefit in keeping this lintian warning. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.45-2 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.14 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.21-4 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libparse-debianchan 1.1.1-1 parse Debian changelogs and output ii liburi-perl 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.0-4 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-md5 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
