Package: localepurge
Version: 0.7.3.8
Severity: important
Tags: patch
With USE_DPKG localepurge will remove files below /usr/share/help/C.
This removes help docs for lots of applications in the locale en_US.
An example is Gnome eog: install it with the above setting, then look for
/usr/share/help/C/eog/index.page
The reason is a missing pattern in gen-dpkg-cfg.pl.
Also, the corresponding pattern to keep files locale-specific from
the list in locale.nopurge is wrong.
Patch attached.
Cheers, Roderich
