retitle 457360 asclock: Fails to install in locales with localized dpkg present severity 457360 important tags 457360 + patch thanks robot
Hello Marcello,
I looked at your package now in detail and found out that you assume that dpkg
prints
messages in English only. This is, however, no longer true. The patch below
fixes this,
I tested it on my box with German locale.
While building and testing, I noticed that some work has piled up in your
packages (lots
of warnings from debhelper, linda, lintian, ...). Maybe you can use the
Christmas season
to bring asclock up to date (see also my other wishlist bug).
If you don't have the time/interest to work on asclock atm (any more) please
tell me. If
I don't hear from you I'll provide a NMU in January for this bug, probably with
the
following changelog entry:
asclock (2.0.12-8.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Don't rely on dpkg's messages to be printed in English but rather force
C locale where necessary (Closes: #457360)

I would be glad to fix all "obvious" linda/lintian/debconf errors as well with
your
consent, though.
