Hi. I'm wondering how would one write postinst script tests, in the case of "select" debconf configuration values, which are translated in the templates.
Let's say that a package's template contains something like : Template: sympa/db_authtype Type: select Choices: Ident-based, Password ... Choices-fr.UTF-8: Basée sur ident, Mot de passe If issueing 'db_get sympa/db_authtype', and wanting to test the results, I would expect some code like the following to be correct : db_get sympa/db_authtype if [ "$RET" = "Ident-based" ]; then ... However, it seems that the db_get results depend on the locale, and return "Basée sur ident" instead of "Ident-based" when with french locale... How can one write scripts, which will not depend on translation of the templates ? Is this a bug in debconf ? Btw, that's a real case example in the sympa package, and testing distro (and see bug #466530). Thanks for your comments.
