We can't really detect that logging is active (apart from checking whether the specified logfile exists --- which needs not be the case) In case it does not indeed exist, we should retry at least once. This implies a fairly major modification of `config', which ftp-master is bound to reject.

After all, if teams just can't cope with it, then the point is just not uploading a fixed version. Moreover, the change suggested by Matthias is easy to fix *without* putting burden on l10n teams. As this is just a double word and inconsistent capitalization, we perfectly can unfuzzy PO files before making the change. The clue is: s/will will/will s/for bindgraph/for Bindgraph on all PO files then change the templates then run debconf-updatepo The result should be still complete files.which can be checked with: mdgfmt -o /dev/null -c debian/po/fr.po I'll have a look at all this ASAP. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

How can I help? (I can write spanish and swedish if needed... guess you'll be better than me at translating into french ;) ) Thanks once again, Christian. We owe you a tribute for your efforts in having Debian perfectly localized. Sincerely, J.L. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Please find attached a diff with my > proposed changes. Bindgraph maintainer, such changes *must* be coordinated with translators. If you just change the templates, you'll make us *very* mad..:-) The suggested way to fix this is: -make the changes -run debconf-updatepo -run "podebconf-report-po --languageteam --deadline='.'" to warn existing translators and give them a deadline to send their updates (no less than 7 days, please) -run "podebconf-report-po --call --deadline='.'" to call for new translations If you want, I can coordinated this for you. That would include a full proofreading of the templates for compliance with the developer's reference suggested writing style. Matthias, I suggest you add such text to all reports you send about errors in debconf templates. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
