Package: checkinstall Version: 1.6.1-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch l10n The German (de) and Spanish (es) PO-files don't have their charsets set, causing some characters to display incorrectly.
I discovered this with "LANG=de_DE.utf8". LANG=es_ES.utf8 is probably the same, but I couldn't test properly because I have destroyed Spanish translations on my system by using localepurge. I detected the existing character sets using 'file' which reported both as ISO-8859. I chose -15 for German and -1 for Spanish based on <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO-8859>. The German translation shows up properly with this setting. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages checkinstall depends on: ii file 4.20-4 Determines file type using "magic" ii findutils 4.2.28-2 utilities for finding files--find, ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries checkinstall recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
