Bug#353010: Installing the translation .xpi (thunderbird extension) sets thunderbird in Spanish

[Daniel Rodriguez Garcia]

1. Part 1: workaround:
--

After installing the mozilla-thunderbird-locale-es package (which
does not set mozilla menus in Spanish, but they remain in default
English), I have done the following:

- I have downloaded the "thunderbird.1.0.es-ES.langpack.xpi" file
  from "nave.hispalinux.es" site, and installed it in thunderbird
  (as a thunderbird extension)

- After restarting thunderbird, now it is in Spanish

Note however that this workaround only works for your current
user (I think it installs the extension info in your
~/.mozilla-thunderbird/ directory).

Therefore it is not a valid system-wide solution: if you want to
translate thunderbird into Spanish for all user(s) you need to
run this workaround for each one.

2. Part 2: comment on the workaround:
-

In addition to comments stated before I have also noticed the
following:

Uninstalling (and purging) mozilla-thunderbird-locale-es package,
and cleaning (deleting) my user's ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/ dir.
(so I can start from scratch), I have tried to install the
above extension. However now it does not work.

Therefore, in order to translate thunderbird into Spanish I have
checked that both packages must be installed:

- debian's mozilla-thunderbird-locale-es package
- thunderbird.1.0.es-ES.langpack.xpi extension (per user)


It seems both 'packages' are complementing to each other ??


I think this is not the intended behaviour, so please correct the
mozilla-thunderbird-locale-es package.

Bug#345563: Yelp blank "help topics" may be produced by a scrollkeeper bug

[Daniel Rodriguez Garcia]

After searching the internet I have found a thread with a similar
bug found in Ubuntu:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/yelp/+bug/18434

According to that thread the problem is in scrollkeeper, as it
seems it crashes somewhere if the current LANGUAGE environmente
variable is "compound" (contains more than a language specification,
mine is: "es_ES:es:en_GB:en" )

Running the command:

  LANGUAGE=es_ES yelp

from the command line solves the problem for me: I get a "Help topics"
page with contents.

Therefore it seems this is a scrollkeeper's bug, not a yelp's one.

Bug#345563: More info

[Daniel Rodriguez Garcia]

Well, it seems yelp gives the same error messages when
opening from console a valid help file, e.g.:

  yelp file:///usr/share/gnome/help/drivemount/es/drivemount.xml

which is rendered ok (also rendered ok when started from the
application's "help" menu option). Therefore those errors in my
previous messages may not be significant.

The problem seems to be related with an incorrect rendering of
the main Help topics page(s).


I have been reported also (in IRC channels) that some users coming
from a fresh debian testing installation do not experience this
problem ?

I come from dist-upgrade from sarge. So this may be
related to some garbage information remaining in my system? (perhaps
xml packages files?) I have checked the files I have installed for the
yelp package and they seem to be ok...

Note:

The memory locations in the previous message and in strace_yelp.txt
are not the same (I think they correspond to different runs,
sorry for that).

Significant lines in strace_yelp.txt, corresponding to given
messages are:

Line 1481 ("(yelp:11297): Gtk-CRITICAL ** " )
Line 6858 ("I/O warning : failed to...")

Just in case it helps.
