missing fcitx-mozc.mo

[Ikuya Awashiro]

[Impact]
For some at this point unknown reason, langpack-o-matic refuses to include fcitx-mozc.mo in the applicable language-pack-*-base packages. As a workaround for now this proposed upload rebuilds mozc with export NO_PKG_MANGLE=1 so the translations are not stripped.

[Test Case]
After install, check for the existence of e.g.

 /usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/fcitx-mozc.mo
 /usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/fcitx-mozc.mo

[Regression Potential]
Low.

[Original description]
$ LANG=C dpkg -S fcitx-mozc.mo
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern *fcitx-mozc.mo*

Please include it for upcoming next translation update.

The mozc source package was built - and stripped - on March 31, and the latest full langpack export happened on April 15.

@Martin: Is there a 'natural' explanation, or is there some kind of issue which needs to be investigated?

The mozc template was waiting in the review queue, I accepted it and the strings are translatable now, https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/mozc

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Thanks, Sebastien, that explains it. (I should have thought of looking there...)

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

The fcitx-mozc.po files were included in the raw exported data:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/268214743/ubuntu-xenial-translations.tar.gz

However, it seems not to have helped:

$ dpkg-query -W language-pack-ja-base
language-pack-ja-base 1:16.04+20160627
$ dpkg -L language-pack-ja-base | grep fcitx-mozc
$

There is no mentioning of fcitx-mozc at all in the langpack build log, neither for installing it nor it being an unknown translation domain. For some reason it gets ignored, not sure why yet.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I don't think we should apply the workaround to yakkety, let's rather fix it properly there.

I installed fcitx-mozc 2.17.2116.102+gitfd0f5b34+dfsg-1ubuntu1.1 from xenial-proposed.

$ dpkg -L fcitx-mozc | grep mo$
/usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/fcitx-mozc.mo
/usr/share/locale/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/fcitx-mozc.mo
/usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/fcitx-mozc.mo
