The original report only emphasizes that the relevant file(s) should be shipped by language-pack-whatever instead.
It does not emphasize enough that "/usr/locale" is the wrong place to put it anyway, it should go under "/usr/share/locale". (I've modified the bug title accordingly.) I don't particularly care about unity-lens-foo not finding the Danish translation. I don't know what this app is and I can't speak Danish :-P What I do care about, however, is that these misplaced files break my old habit of typing (and pressing the [TAB] key) "cd /usr/lo[TAB]sh[TAB]" to take me to "/usr/local/share". Autocompletion no longer completes to "local/" with the trailing slash since "locale" is another possibility. ** Also affects: unity-lens-files (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity-lens-applications in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702187 Title: wrongly shipping /usr/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/unity-lens-applications.mo Status in unity-lens-applications package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-lens-files package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: unity-lens-applications is apparently wrongly shipping /usr/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/unity-lens-applications.mo This is the only translation file (.mo) shipped by unity-lens-applications.
