Package: libmatheval1
Version: 1.1.7-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainers,
translating the package description to German I found some minor issues.
- Most of the descriptions of libmatheval1 and libmatheval1-dev is
identical. Making a seperate paragraph of the last sentence in both cases
would ease the translation work: Thus the first paragraph can be
translated
once and reused afterwards.
- The use and non-use of articles sounds a bit strange to me, but I am not
a native speaker.
- I wonder wheather the package really contains libraries.
/usr/lib/libmatheval.so.1
/usr/lib/libmatheval.so.1.0.0
IMO it is just one library and a symbolic link pointing to this library.
Please consider the attached patch. It will fix the first two items in
my list.
Kind regards
Martin
