Not reproducible - apt-cross has been translated and tested in various locales many times and it does work with translated output (i.e. without changing the locale). > This bug is also present in apt-cross 0.12.0 (in Debian 5.0.5). Tested, not reproducible. 1. Make sure apt-cross is always up to date before testing, using the --update command 2. Always run --update between any change in configuration 3. Do not expect apt-cross to handle false tests like -a i386, use a sensible test like -a armel. 4. If you want foo_i386-cross you are looking for the wrong thing, generally - use a 32bit chroot to build stuff for i386 on amd64, for example. It is usually wrong to want foo_i386-cross anything. Please explain, in detail, why you think you need this and re-test. 5. For quicker tests, consider trying libpopt-dev as your test package. 6. Get yourself a clean test environment, maybe using pbuilder or pdebuild-cross, and re-test. I suspect something else is wrong or misconfigured on your system. 7. Always provide the *full* list of apt sources - not just /etc/apt/sources.list but all the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ Bugs in dependency calculations with apt-cross are always dependent on the precise apt sources in use at the time. That is why apt-cross supplies a custom reportbug script. reportbug then generates these questions: "I can automatically include various information about your apt and apt-cross configuration in your bug report. This information may help to diagnose your problem. You can always edit this information within the bug report if necessary. It can also be helpful if you re-run the problematic apt-cross command using the full debug verbosity (-v -v -v) and redirecting the output to a file that can be attached to the bug report. Thanks for your help. May I include your apt cache policy ? y May I also include your sources.lists (/etc/apt/sources.list*(.d/*))? y" 8. Clean up your apt-cross cache data (~/.apt-cross) - remove the entire directory and ensure that no other users on the same system have apt-cross cache data either (especially /root/) Please re-test and use reportbug to add more information to this bug report and expressly include the above information. If this is not provided, I have no choice but to close this bug as wontfix. apt-cross has many issues but l10n is not normally one. It's very likely that something else is causing apt-cross to fail to see the relevant cache data (the usual reason that apt-cross will fail to resolve dependencies) in the expected location. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
