As Christian stated, you didn't do anything wrong! Looking at the new version, you even corrected the string in all translations, which is really great (not many maintainers would this, unfortunately). Is the deadline for updates still Sun, 21 Feb 2010 10:34:03 +0100?

Quoting Helge Kreutzmann (deb...@helgefjell.de): > Today a call for translation updates was made (only to some lists, > e.g. German and Swedish, but not e.g. for French or to -i18n for new This happened probably because I sent an update for French today with a text suggesting the maintainer to issue such calls for translations when changing templates. So, (s)he of course had a complete French translation, hence no call to the French list. And (s)he probably didn't use the --call switch of po-debconf-reportpo, hence no call for new translations in -i18n And, nice catch for the URL, I didn't notice this..:-) signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Package: sun-java6 Version: 6-18-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.3 X-Debbugs-CC: Christian Perrier X-Debbugs-CC: debian-i...@lists.debian.org Today a call for translation updates was made (only to some lists, e.g. German and Swedish, but not e.g. for French or to -i18n for new translations). Looking at the strings the user is requested to accept a license, where more information supposedly is found on http://java.sun.com/notes This page, however, is 404. While I wonder why those information cannot be stored locally (probably because it can only be reviewed *after* the package has been installed) it has to be ensured that the user *can* review the license before installation. A possible solution would be to place the license on a server under your (or Debians) control thus availablility can be ensured during the entire lifetime of this package. If that solution would not be possible/acceptable then probably a larger rewording in the templates would be necessary (instead of a simple replacement of an URL), so translation efforts probably should be postponed? -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann deb...@helgefjell.de Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de/debian.php 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature
