Hello,

I need help with #472953: I cannot test it because it requires
translated packages files downloaded by apt.  Currently there is an
issue with -pt_BR and with -de.

If you have /var/lib/apt/lists/*i18n_Translation* files, you qualify for
helping.

What I am trying to figure out is the relationship between the
translation file names and the Description-LANG: field names in the
files: there can be urlencoding differences as well as case differences.


Most important thing, I need the output of these two commands:

  ls /var/lib/apt/lists/*i18n_Translation*

  grep -h ^Description- /var/lib/apt/lists/*i18n_Translation* | cut -d: -f1 | 
sort -u

If you are short of time, just do this.


If you would like to help more, then please also:

  1. git clone git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/apt-xapian-index.git
  2. ./testrun

let me know if it gives you errors or not.


If instead you know exactly how the whole thing works and can directly
point me at the solution, this is what I'm aiming at: translated-desc.py
in apt-xapian-index wants to index all the translated descriptions
together with the normal ones.

To do so, it is trying to build a list of languages for which there is a
translation in the system by looking at what *i18n_Translation* files
are available.  Then, for every such file, it tries to extract the
translated description, and then index them.


Ciao,

Enrico
