simple-scan 3.16.0 installs locales to wrong location

[DimStar]

Building simple-scan 3.16.0 and running make install puts the translations in a wrong location:

[ 142s] simple-scan-lang-3.16.0-85.1.noarch.rpm: directories not owned by a package:
[ 142s] - /usr/@DATADIRNAME@
[ 142s] - /usr/@DATADIRNAME@/locale

the variable DATADIRNAME is being set to @DATADIRNAME@ in po/Makefile.in.in, but there is nowhere where @DATADIRNAME@ is being defined....

Looks like autotools got confused. I rebuilt from a clean tree and it seem to have created a better po/Makefile.in.in.

Thanks for reporting!

Seems to also affect the 3.14.3 tarball, based on a Fedora bugreport. Is there any chance of a new 3.14 release, or should I apply a patch in Fedora?

[David (david-redhat-bugs)]

Thanks for the report. I have requested a new tarball upstream (as a similar bug occured with the 3.16.0 release) and should hear back soon.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Argh, autotool! You are such a pain. I'll respin the 3.14 release.

Sorry for the question,
Should I just remove the folder and reinstall the package?
Which versions are not affected?

Thanks a lot!

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

This is fixed in simple-scan 3.16.0.1 and 3.14.3.1.

If you had a bad version installed (3.16.0 or 3.14.3) just install an updated package. If you manually installed the files, yes, you can remove usr/@DATADIRNAME@.
