The problem seems to occur only when a non-English locale is being used (might not be triggered by all locales). I can trigger the abort by running "LC_ALL=pt_BR.utf8 LANGUAGE=pt info" (with the Portuguese language packs installed).
The problem seems to be in command documentation strings like: msgid "Internally used by \\[universal-argument]" msgstr "Intern gebruikt door \\[universal-argument]" Info absolutely expects that the text between the \\[...] refers to an actual function name, which it expects to be able to find and replace according to its needs. If it sees a "function name", but can't look that name up, then it aborts. For instance, when I'm using pt_BR, I see that it gets translated to ""Ir para o próximo item correspondente do último `\\[pesquisa-índice]' comando". Notice that they translated the function name itself, too (bad idea). This is what's causing problems. I'm not seeing function-name translation like this upstream, nor does upstream even appear to provide translations for Portuguese; so it looks like a ticket should be opened in the Translations section for this. -- info crashes (core dumped) when pressing ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
