Bug#325406: poxml: split2po failed

2005-09-04 Thread Ben Burton
Hi, I've taken a look at this. The problem is that split2po expects each XML file to contain just one top-level element (e.g., book, article, whatever). Your files begin with a sect2.../sect2, followed by another sect2.../sect2. It's therefore ignoring the second sect2 completely. My

Hi, kdeedu currently fails to build on GNU/kFreeBSD, due to outdated libtool and due to a couple of missing #ifdef. Please find attached a patch to fix that. Could you please add it in the next upload? In your patch you included a completely new file debian/kstars.install.kfreebsd-i386.

Hi, I have kbabel 4:3.4.2-1 and kdelibs4c2 4:3.4.2-3 installed together quite happily. libgamin0 conflicts libfam0, and here you have the problem. But libgamin0 also provides libfam0, which means the kdelibs4c2 dependency is satisfied. Please try upgrading your kdelibs4 and see if that fixes

Why is this RC? Because these packages are unsuitable for release. They were upgrade packages from a name change that occurred during the (very long) sarge release cycle. I kept them in sarge because I wanted to support an upgrade from (sarge == testing back then) to (sarge == stable).
