Broken language support in Firefox 3.0rc1

[.Ulli]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After the update from Firefox 3b5 to Firefox 3rc1 (Hardy Proposed) the language support is broken.

1. The add-ons Firefox (de) 3.0b5 and Xulrunner (de) 1.9.b5 should have been uninstalled.
2. The installation of the new add-ons selected the wrong language, (en-GB) instead of (de)

The attached graphic has been produced within a new profile.

just keep updating your system. the new language packs should be in hardy-proposed already.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

reopen if you still see this tomorrow. thanks!

Thanks,
currently received the new language pack. It has replaced the b5 package and works fine.

But I can't understand the reason for the (en-GB) add-on, which is still noted in my system. Have a look a the attached graphic, it doesn't bother me but I can't figure out why it really works.
A simple rm outside the packet-manager shouldn't be the appropriate action.

My language changed from es-AR to en-US, after updating.

Try to upgrade your system again. Your translations should be on the
mirror by now.

I've updated from hardy-proposed (main server repo), and it seems that there is no update for mozilla-firefox-locale-es-es.

that package is not the one of concern. remove it. install
language-pack-es instead.

maybe you ran firefox 2 once in the meantime. stop ffox, remove your
extensions cache files:

 find $HOME/.mozilla/ -name extensions.\*

and see if things get better.

No, it's still in English, even with a clean profile. Where is the language xpi file for Firefox 3 supposed to be packed, in language-pack-es?

yes, actually in language-pack-es-base, but that should get installed
at the same time.

Ok, it's solved for me now. The strange thing is that I had to reinstall language-pack-es-base because my /<email address hidden>/chrome/ and /<email address hidden>/chrome/ folders where empty.

After the reinstallation the jar files appeared and work. I don't know if other users have experimented this behavior.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

sounds like a transition issue from moving translations from language-pack-gnome to language-pack.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

sounds like a new corner case of depends/replaces

[Nukeador (nukeador)]

Ok, if you need me to do something more to reproduce the problem that helps to solve the problem, just ping me here.

Regards.

Is this bug still an issue with the latest language-packs for Hardy?

[Expired for language-pack-es (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Timing out. I think this is all fixed in current lucid/maverick.
