If aptitude is dealing with bugs (i.e. uploads fixes) as said the german l10n-team will most likely provide updates. But so far aptitude does not seem interested. So instead of struggeling with translators, please struggle with maintainers. So if/when you know details about uploads which might include a new de.po, ping us (debian-l10n-german) and most likely someone will work on the translation. For the technical part, as stated in my last e-mail already: Not fixed. The quotes used are not German ones at all: "install". It would either be >>install<< or ,,install". (Sorry, funny formatting is due to me pasting it in from the bug log). As for the closing the bug report: After the switch to po4a a simple "does this still apply" would have sufficed to narrow this done. To satisfy your request, I retitled the bug report. If this (no longer) is an aptitude bug but rather and po4a one (which I suspect, but I'm not sure and don't have the time to investigate atm) please reassign, po4a upstream is very responsive.
