Error compiling docbook in pt-br with dblatex

[Augusto Santos]

Binary package hint: dblatex

When trying to compile a document in XML docbook write in pt-br (i.e., one that has the <book lang="pt-br"> attribute), i get the following error:

1:Build the listings...

Note that, on line 10, its looking for the file portugesse.ldf. Doing a search on packges.ubuntu.com, i can see that there is no such file in ubuntu.
Looking for that string i see its present on line 110 of /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/dblatex/xsl/lang.xsl
Changing this line, that, at first, contains:
<xsl:otherwise>portugese</xsl:otherwise>
to
<xsl:otherwise>portuges</xsl:otherwise>
the compilation works Ok!

This is happening on Kubuntu, 8.04 final, dblatex 0.2.6-1.

Hi Augusto,

would you mind to retest? I think this has been fixed with dblatex 0.2.8
