Missing Banshee localizations

[Андрей Кацупий]

There's no Russian localization in 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise1...
No changes in interface, though.
Must be easy to solve, I think.
Had to lock version 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~hyper1+precise with Synaptic, it's okay.

[IMPACT]
Users of non-English locales would see their Banshee interface in English rather than localized to their locale.

This is a regression introduced in 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise1 due to the introduction of the "X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack: yes" flag in debian/control.

[TESTCASE]
1. Switch to a non-English locale that was previously supported by Banshee, e.g. German or Russian.
2. Start Banshee
3. Observe the language of the interface

[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
Unlikely. This change merely reintroduces the .mo files that were stripped by pkgbinarymangler.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jorge Eduardo (littlefoot87)]

Same here, no changes in the interface language.

Hello Андрей, or anyone else affected,

Accepted banshee into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I've tested successfully the -proposed package in Precise

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package banshee - 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise2

---------------
banshee (2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise2) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * [0993206] Disable X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack.
    Translations for Banshee have not appeared in the language packs as of
    Ubuntu Precise, so disable this field so that the package retains its .mo
    files. (LP: #1022943)

This was caused by bug 1048556 in Launchpad. While still not fixed, we've since added a workaround for Banshee in langpack-o-matic (the software that builds language packs) so that its translations can both be done in Launchpad and shipped in language packs as intended.
