Public bug reported:
[ Description ]
Some German strings were accidentally translated under en_GB. They
affect the default Ubuntu install - some of them are strings which are
displayed as a notification some time after first logging in, so it's
quite visible. See the attached screenshot.
[ Fix ]
Revert the German and go back to the proper English text. The way to fix
langpacks is to upload the language-pack-gnome-XX package which replaces
files in language-pack-gnome-XX-base.
[ Devel release ]
I'd like to propose to binary copy forward, and let the normal langpack
release schedule take care of eventually dominating these away in
impish.
[ QA ]
To verify the diff, compare deja-dup.po from language-pack-gnome-en-base
to the one in this upload. You'll have to do that manually.
0. Be in en_GB.
1. Install the SRU
2. In an Ubuntu Desktop session, open a terminal and run `deja-dup --prompt`.
3. Note the buttons in the notification that shows up. They should be in
English.
[ What could go wrong ]
1. There could be other instances of this in different packages we haven't
noticed yet
2. If I break the .po file, it could either break the build or the translations
at runtime (but this is English, so if we fall back to C it's not too bad)
3. If my diff is wrong then I might have dropped some en_GB translations or
made them wrong
