This bug has been around for 2 weeks without comment, I'm just trying to understand what is going on. The mechanism in the title is certainly how fallback is meant to be activated and I can't see anything in the cdebconf C source code that would change that. I don't do much with D-I so I can only think that something is wrong with the environment: root@dwarf:~# LANGUAGE=se:nb:no:nn:da:sv /usr/lib/cdebconf/dpkg-reconfigure dpkg-cross Obsolete command TITLE Default cross-build architecture selection called Default cross-build architecture selection ------------------------------------------ Om den här maskinen typiskt används för att bygga för en huvudarkitektur, kan du välja den arkitekturen här för att slippa ange den igen när du kör dpkg-cross, apt-cross eller emdebian-tools. Välj 'Ingen' för att inte ha något standardval. Standardarkitektur för krossbyggnation: 1. Ingen [*] 3. amd64 5. armeb 7. hppa 9. ia64 11. mips 13. powerpc 15. sparc 2. alpha 4. arm 6. armel 8. i386 10. m68k 12. mipsel 14. s390 Prompt: '?' for help, default=1> root@dwarf:~# LANGUAGE=se:nb:no:nn:da /usr/lib/cdebconf/dpkg-reconfigure dpkg-cross Obsolete command TITLE Default cross-build architecture selection called Default cross-build architecture selection ------------------------------------------ If this machine is typically cross-building for one main architecture, you can select that architecture here to save specifying it again when running dpkg-cross, apt-cross or emdebian-tools. Select 'None' to have no default. Default cross-building architecture: 1. None [*] 3. amd64 5. armeb 7. hppa 9. ia64 11. mips 13. powerpc 15. sparc 2. alpha 4. arm 6. armel 8. i386 10. m68k 12. mipsel 14. s390 Prompt: '?' for help, default=1> So fallback does appear to work in this respect - sv gets chosen as the only language supported by this particular package. root@dwarf:~# ls /opt/working/dpkg-cross/debian/po/ cs.po CVS de.po fr.po it.po ja.po ka.po nl.po POTFILES.in pt.po ru.po sv.po templates.pot uk.po Testing with those languages shows that the fallback mechanism does work - at least outside D-I. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
