Package: apt
Version: 0.8.1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

When running apt in German locale, I see lines like the following:

Es wurden 1.514k B in 3 s geholt (388k B/s)
               ~~~                   ~~~~~
There is an extra space between the unit prefix ("k") and the unit
itself. This seems to be a common case in apts output.

The correct output would be:
Es wurden 1.514 kB in 3 s geholt (388 kB/s)
               ~~~                   ~~~~~

Unfortunately this is *not* an l10n issue, but rather an i18n issue.
In the po file I see:
#: cmdline/acqprogress.cc:135
#, c-format
msgid "Fetched %sB in %s (%sB/s)\n"
msgstr "Es wurden %s B in %s geholt (%s B/s)\n"

It looks like the prefix is contained in "%s". So until this is fixed,
for de.po the space before the unit should be removed in all
applicable strings, since it is much less confusing, although 
Es wurden 1.514kB in 3 s geholt (388kB/s)
              ~~~                  ~~~~~
is still wrong but IMHO only less confusing ("less wrong") than the
current behaviour.

It would be great if this bandaid could be applied for Squeeze (the
translator is CC:ed) if the proper fix for Squeeze is not possible.

Holgers update was included in 0.8.3 which should show:

Es wurden 1.514kB in 3 s geholt (388kB/s)


Version 0.8.6 implements the SI-required space between number and
unit, so the output should be

Es wurden 1.514 kB in 3 s geholt (388 kB/s)

now. (See also #598352)


> It is for Squeeze, correct?

As 0.8.6 is already in squeeze i hope it was intended to be in. ;)


All in all: Looks like someone forgot to close the bug,
so i am doing that now, but let me add:
Thanks Helge for pointing it out (and the nagging) and
thanks Holger for quick-fixing it!


Best regards
