Update-manager not using current translations during upgrade

[Hendrik Schrieber]

When upgrading Ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10 update-manager is not using current translations. This is visible in some strings which are displayed with older wrong translations or in English. An example is "Upgrading Ubuntu to version 11.10". All strings in update-manager have been translated properly and in time on Launchpad.

Examples:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/de/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=upgrading+ubuntu

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/de/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=softwarepaketquellen

Hello Hendrik, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Looks good on my Natty box.

A user reported in bug #877461 that the en_GB translation has an ugly regression on this "Upgrading Ubuntu to version 11.10" string. The translation was today fixed in LP, is it possible to create another export and package with that fix?

[Gabor Kelemen (kelemeng)]

The version fixing bug #877461 fixes this one as well.

Since this only required a .po refresh, the latest upload of update-manager should certainly have taken care of this:

update-manager (1:0.156.12) precise; urgency=low
