severity 411243 important retitle 411243 Broken debconf templates thanks Thomas Huriaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (17/02/2007): > Your po-debconf infrastructure is completly broken.

I was going to fill a second bug for the broken debconf templates: while installing your package, debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanza #1 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/php4-idn.templates debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanza #2 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/php4-idn.templates and debconf displays an empty yes/no question. However, after having a closer look at it, this is in fact the same issue, as dh_installdebconf fails due to the missing debian/po/ directory and installs the initial template file instead of the po2debconf-ized one. This will therefore also fix the following lintian warnings: E: php4-idn: no-template-description php4/add_extension E: php4-idn: unknown-field-in-templates php4/add_extension _description W: php4-idn: malformed-question-in-templates php4/add_extension E: php4-idn: no-template-description php4/remove_extension E: php4-idn: unknown-field-in-templates php4/remove_extension _description W: php4-idn: malformed-question-in-templates php4/remove_extension Cheers, -- Thomas Huriaux
