Description Xake 2009-08-22 09:36:34 UTC
It seems like the tarball for net.im/pidgin-2.6.1 was renerated on a system with intltool-0.40.6, leading to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577133 (Gentoo bug #264114).

In short: if the user has LINGUAS set, then they will not get any *.mo.

The fix?
Add

src_prepare() {
   intltoolize --automake --copy --force
}

to the ebuild.
You may also want to add intltool to the deps.

Setting Severity to major since loss of language files is a loss of function.
