Bug#692191: nginx: All debconf translations broken because the templates file has trailing ^M characters
Package: nginx
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
To Debian translators, let's make it short: DON'T WORK on nginx as of
now.
Because the nginx-naxsi-ui.templates file has trailing ^M characters,
debconf-updatepo messes up PO files.
This does ot appear obviously in the uploaded package because
debian/po/*.po are out of sync with the templates file, there.
However, running "debconf-updatepo" on the package source tree then
breaks all PO files to 0t2f0u.
To fix, this, as I wrote to Kartik on IRC:
08:51 < bubulle> kart_: OK, got it
08:51 < bubulle> ^ M characters at the end of lines in the templates
file..:-(
08:52 < bubulle> you need to:
08:52 < bubulle> - leave PO files as they ar ein the uploaded package
08:52 < bubulle> - edit the templates file and remove trailing ^M
08:53 < bubulle> - run debconf-updatepo
08:53 < bubulle> all PO files shoudl remain 2t
08:58 < kart_> bubulle: ok. doing it.
09:04 < kart_> bubulle: I didn't find ^M in templates :)
I guarantee that ^M are there. However, vim doesn't show them. You
need a very very basic "vi" to see them (I use nvi) and remove them.
