Package: install-info Version: 4.13a.dfsg.1-4 Severity: important I have this *user* setting: $ echo $LANGUAGE bg:mk:ru:sr:ro My locale and the default system locale of this particular machine is bg_BG.UTF-8, but there are users who prefer and use Greek, Turkish and German locales. Apparently when I do upgrades and install-info is invoked by the dpkg trigger, it rebuilds the dir file in Russian (because there are no Bulgarian and Macedonian texinfo translations). This is displayed correctly in info, but not in Emacs (screenshots attached). While that's probably an Emacs bug, I don't believe it is correct to rebuild a system-wide dir file translated. I can read and understand Russian, but some other users of this host cannot. IMHO the correct behavior would be fall back to the system locale if install-info is invoked with admin privileges, or -- in case there is no reliable distro-wide way to determine it -- to fallback to the C locale. Perhaps the latter is even more correct. My guess that this worked properly before is that dpkg's install-info didn't have any translations, at least for the text in the DIR file (I didn't bother to check, though). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=bg_BG.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages install-info depends on: ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries install-info recommends no packages. install-info suggests no packages. -- no debconf informationAttachment: info.png
