tags 550564 - patch thanks Hello Sven,
first of all: Thanks for your bugreport & the patch! > I've attached a minimal patch that would add it to the > list. Though I'm unsure if it's ok to add it as "Acquire::Translation" > because so far there seems to be no sub group for APT::Acquire. Unfortunately this option is not a boolean (true/false, yes/no, whatever) option, so your patch is wrong on this and therefore i removed the patch tag - but again thanks for trying: patches helping alot in bug triaging. :) And APT has unfortunately a lot of un(der)documented features... Synopsis: This option can be used to define which languagecode apt will try to download for the Translations. The default value is "environment" which let apt at runtime choose a languagecode from LC_MESSAGES, for me here with LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" it will use "de" - and will try to download Translation-de from the archives. Your "false" setting forces apt to try to download Translation-false -- which doesn't exist, so it has maybe the desired effect, but true will also not work (or not in a way someone could expect)... This should be documented, yes, but the APT team intend to deprecate this configuration-option in favor of a new and more general setting to support also multiply Translation downloads which seems to be needed to get the ball rolling in the "Removing long desc from Package files" [0] again - but as this change is an abi-break (best would be also an api-break) the APT team wants to collect a few of these breakers before breaking unstable for a few days... reasonable, doesn't it? ( As this feature hasn't a associated bugreport currently i will let this bug open for now and treat it as the associated bugreport. ) Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen, David "DonKult" Kalnischkies [0] Start: http://lists.debian.org/deity/2009/08/msg00073.html My summary and currently last message in the thread: http://lists.debian.org/deity/2009/08/msg00112.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
