Hello, I am pleased to announce that I have set up my PPA repository which now contains the patched versions of "apt" and friends.
So, if you are a user of the Turkish locale, and you would like this bug to go away, all you have to do is the following: 1) a) If you are using "Hardy" (8.04 LTS), then append to your /etc/sources.list file the following lines: === 8< === deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvb/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvb/ubuntu hardy main === >8 === 1) b) If you are using "Intrepid" (8.10), then append to your /etc/sources.list file the following lines: === 8< === deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvb/ubuntu intrepid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvb/ubuntu intrepid main === >8 === 2) Use your favorite package manager (Synaptic, Adept, aptitude, etc.) to do the equivalent of: === 8< === sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade === >8 === 3) Close your package manager, and run the following commands: === 8< === sudo rm -v /var/cache/apt/*.bin sudo apt-get update === >8 === Now, our main objective should be to get the patch I wrote merged into apt. Regards, M. Vefa Bicakci Note 1: In order for the changes to the libraries go fully into effect, you might need to log out and log back in (or reboot) after you have completed the steps outlined above. (This is required because "update-notifier" will continue to use the older version of libapt-pkg until "update-notifier" is restarted.) Note 2: Attached is a newer version of the patch. ** Attachment added: "apt.patch.full.v4.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19662100/apt.patch.full.v4.diff -- libapt-pkg and apt-get are not Turkish locale safe https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80248 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
