Re: [console-common] wrong+unexported TEXTDOMAIN in install-keymap

[Recai Oktas <roktas@omu.edu.tr>]

Hi,

Unfortunately there are other problems with install-keymap regarding the 
i18n issues, which render the translation efforts of 'console-data' (as 
suggested for second-stage installation [1]) somewhat problematic.
Messages with shell variables doesn't work, e.g.

  $GETTEXT >&2 "confffile ${CONFFILE} is a symlink : not overwriting"

The messaging interface could have been rewritten with the
gettext shell helper (I mean the 'gettext.sh' from gettext-base 
package.)  But this package has a lower priority ('standart') than 
console-common ('important') which introduces a dependency problem.  
Maybe there should be another workaround.  Or just for the i18n 
requirements, shouldn't the gettext-base package have a more higher 
priority.  Any comment?
