Bug#229954: dpkg: Codes for "Desired" and "Status" in `dpkg -l` output untranslated/untranslatable
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.9.21
Severity: important
It appears that the codes in the first two (three?) columns in the
output from `dpkg -l` is untranslatable. Here's the output from `dpkg
-l exim` on my system using the en_UK and the da_DK locales:
en_UK:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-====================-====================-========================================================
rc exim 3.35-1 An MTA (Mail Transport Agent)
da_DK:
Ønsket=Ukendt/Installér/Fjern/Udrens/Tilbagehold
| Status=Ikke/Installeret/Opsæt.-files/Upakket/Opsætn.-fejl/Halvt-inst.
|/ Fjl?=(ingen)/Tilbageholdt/Geninst.-krævet/X=begge-dele (Status,Fjl: versaler=slemt)
||/ Navn Version Beskrivelse
+++-====================-====================-========================================================
rc exim 3.35-1 An MTA (Mail Transport Agent)
It would make it possible for Danish users to understand the codes, if
they were translatable (and translated) and not just arbitrary
characters.
