Package: gdebi-core
Version: 0.6.4
Severity: important
Tags: l10n
Since Debian Squeeze gdebi parses user's response to "Do you want to install
the software package?" with following code (GDebiCli.py):
msg = _("Do you want to install the software package? [y/N]:")
print msg,
sys.stdout.flush()
res = sys.stdin.readline()
if res.lower().startswith(msg[-5]):
app.install()
The problem is that the -5 character in localized question string may be not
"y" and not equivalent for "y". E.g. when locale is russian, "[" is
correct positive answer now.
As non-correct response is equal to "N" so dialog with gdebi look as:
(russian)
$ sudo gdebi abook_0.5.6-7_i386.deb
<snipped>
Вы хотите установить этот пакет? [y/N]y
$
(french)
$ sudo gdebi abook_0.5.6-7_i386.deb
<snipped>
Voulez-vous installer le paquet logiciel ? [o/N] :o
$
