From my original report:
Package: gcc-4.0 Version: 4.0.1-3 Severity: normal Tags: l10n Gcc always prints its messages in English, rather than my preferred German. Running "strace gcc-4.0 -v" shows that gcc tries to read the german messages from the file /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gcc.mo, which does not exist. It had better read /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gcc-4.0.mo, which is there.
I just installed version 4.0.1-5 of gcc-4.0 and the corresponding locales package, and now the problem is reversed: gcc tries to read /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gcc-4.0.mo, but all there is is /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gcc.mo :-( , so I still get English messages. It seems you have to reopen the bug. Regards, Sven
