Public bug reported: With the latest Firefox updates in Ubuntu 11.04, I've realized that the translations of packages descriptions disappeared from the old version to the new one.
$ apt-cache show firefox=4.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 | grep "^Description\|^ " Description-es: Navegador seguro y sencillo de Mozilla Firefox brinda seguridad, facilidad al navegar por la web. Una interfaz de usuario familiar, características de seguridad mejoradas incluyendo protección del robo de identidad en linea y búsqueda integrada que te permite sacarle todo le jugo a la web. $ apt-cache show firefox=4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 | grep "^Description\|^ " Description: Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla Firefox delivers safe, easy web browsing. A familiar user interface, enhanced security features including protection from online identity theft, and integrated search let you get the most out of the web. I think the problem is the lack of Translation-* files: $ sudo apt-get update [...] Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-security/main TranslationIndex Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-security/multiverse TranslationIndex Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-security/restricted TranslationIndex Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-security/universe TranslationIndex Obj http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/main Translation-es Obj http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/multiverse Translation-es Obj http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/restricted Translation-es Obj http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/universe Translation-es Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/main Translation-es_ES Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/main Translation-C Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/main Translation-en Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/multiverse Translation-es_ES Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/multiverse Translation-C Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/multiverse Translation-en Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/restricted Translation-es_ES Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/restricted Translation-C Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/restricted Translation-en Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/universe Translation-es_ES Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/universe Translation-C Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty/universe Translation-en Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/main Translation-es_ES Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/main Translation-es Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/main Translation-C Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/main Translation-en Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/multiverse Translation-es_ES Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/multiverse Translation-es Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/multiverse Translation-C Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/multiverse Translation-en Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/restricted Translation-es_ES Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/restricted Translation-es Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/restricted Translation-C Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/restricted Translation-en Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/universe Translation-es_ES Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com natty-updates/universe Translation-es [...] (The rest are "Ign" lines.) Checking into archive.ubuntu.com, I can see the following directories do exists: ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/restricted/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/universe/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/multiverse/i18n/ However, the following directories doesn't exists: ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-updates/main/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-updates/restricted/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-updates/universe/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-updates/multiverse/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-security/main/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-security/restricted/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-security/universe/i18n/ ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-security/multiverse/i18n/ So it seems to be a lack of Translation-* files and /i18n/ directories in the repositories, so therefore all the packages in natty-updates and natty-security has no translations of their descriptions. ** Affects: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775412 Title: Translations of packages descriptions disappears from one version to another -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
