Package: approx
Version: 5.2-1
Severity: normal
If pdiffs are enabled approx also tries to apply them to the
Translation-* files. Since approx only handles .gz files and the
Translation-* files seem to be only available as .bz2 this fails:
Updating debian/dists/wheezy/main/i18n/Translation-en.gz
Uncaught exception
(Program not linked with -g, cannot print stack backtrace)
Failure: decompress
After this error no further pdiffs are applied. Somehow most of the
time the Translation updates seems to be the first one tried, so that
the Packages.gz files are not updated.
The attached patch ignores all diffs inside "i18n" directories.
But a proper solution would probably also handle diffs for Translation
files and would not stop updating after the first error.
