Hello fellow developers, The i18n crowd needs your help.
In order to provide translators and teams with valuable material to work, we have a few automated processes that are running on the i18n.debian.org machine. The source code for all this stuff is stored in git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-l10n/dl10n One of these processes is failing since September 6th and people who had a look at this up to now (me and David Prévot) can't debug it. This process, cronned under the debian-i18n role on i18n.debian.org is aimed at extracting all translatable material from the archive (either from unstable, or testing, etc.) and stored it in a way that it can be processed by other automated tasks (such as the one building i18n stats pages on http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n). The script that fails is named cron/gen-material in the git repo. It uses a configuration file that is stored in etc/dl10n.conf, still in the repo. It calls a Perl script named dl10n-check (stored in the root of the git repo)...which is the one apparently failing with errors like: Unable to open /srv/mirrors/debian//pool/main/3/3depict/3depict_0.0.13-1.debian.tar.gz at /home/debian-i18n/dl10n-check line 463 read() on closed filehandle GEN5 at /srv/i18n.debian.org//dl10n/git/lib/Debian/Pkg/Tar.pm line 176. Of course, the said file *is* there and this file is not even the first one that is processed by the script. If I tweak the script to ignore this package, it fails a bit later on another package, and so on. In short, it fails on *some* packages....and this is all we have. And we're beyond our skills. So, in short, we need fellow developers' help. Preferrably from people who can access i18n.debian.org and work under the debian-i18n role in order to test things as they are. In short, Debian developers who would be granted that role(maybe the latter is not mandatory, dunno). Is anyone willing to help us? --
