Package: coreutils
Version: 8.13 - 8.16
Faults:
(only applicable to german localization):
When trying to re-create an already created symbolic link, ln's error message
contains three faults,
one grammatical, one [important] logical one orthographical.
Reproduction:
touch ./foo
ln -s ./foo ./bar
>>>then again:
ln -s ./foo ./bar
ln: Symbolischen Verknüpfung ./bar konnte angelgt werden: Die Datei existiert
bereits.
Corrected error message reads like this:
ln: Symbolische Verknüpfung ./bar konnte nicht angelegt werden: Die Datei
existiert bereits.
Corrections:
- 1) Symbolische Verknüpfung [...] -> minor important grammatical mistake.
- 2) [...] konnte nicht angelgt werden: [...] -> this one is important, the
negotiation is missing.
- 3) [...] angelegt werden: [...] -> minor important ortographical mistake
(typo).
whereas original english errStr is correct:
LC_ALL=C ln -s ./foo ./bar
ln: failed to create symbolic link `bar': File exists
File /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo (binary) - (tested using
Debian coreutils 8.13-3.1)
resp. ./po/de.po & ./po/de.gmo source (8.13, 8.14, 8.15, 8.16) belong to
'coreutils', not 'locales', so this is a coreutils problem.
I've reported the problem at bugs.debian.org, too - since it may be in the
interest of Debian to correct this in distribution packages before 8.17 or so
migrates to sid/testing.
Yfyi: German localization files contain several other typos/mistakes.
