I recently upgraded Gramps to the ~amd64 keyworded version 3.1.3. Usually I use the german translated version (via setting the LANG and LANGUAGE variables). But since the upgrade, the whole programm stays english. I tried installing the stable version 3.1.1, which includes the file /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gramps.mo that gramps is looking for (verified by using strace). Version 3.1.2-r1 works as well (installs the file). I compared the ebuilds of version 3.1.2-r1 and 3.1.3 and there are (imho) no relevant changes in the ebuilds (or the patches). So I checked if version 3.1.3 unpacked and installed by hand, has the same problem. But it does not! Version 3.1.3 installs the localization file correctly. It seems like that during the make process the po folder (that includes the localization files) isn't processed correctly. There are some minor (?) changes in the po/Makefile.in.in that could (?!?) result in these problems: < SHELL = /bin/sh > SHELL = @SHELL@ and adding single quotation marks (') to a grep command (line 59). Since I'm not really into the autotools, could someone please check whether the Gramps developer messed up (and please forward the bug report) or if something Gentoo-specific doesn't work correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =gramps-3.1.3 2. Realize that there is _no_ /usr/share/locale/XX/LC_MESSAGES/gramps.mo 3. emerge =gramps-3.1.2-r1 4. Realize that there is the needed file 5. ebuild /usr/portage/app-misc/gramps/gramps-3.1.3.ebuild unpack 6. Compile gramps-3.1.3 by hand and realize, that it installs the mo file. # emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_P9600_@_2.53GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:45:02 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p35 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.9-r2 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -Os -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -Os -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--keep-going" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.netcologne.de/gentoo/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en de" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acl amd64 berkdb bzip2 cli cracklib crypt cups cxx dri fortran gdbm gpm iconv mmx modules mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre perl pppd python readline reflection session spl sse sse2 ssl sysfs tcpd unicode xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en de" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" SANE_BACKENDS="hp" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS
Wondered myself but had no gains to dig into it.
Thanks for your report, indeed the quotation marks were the culprit. I am not able to find out why they make a difference in the sandboxed environment, but I wrote an email to the committer of that change. Bug triaging in Gramps is a bit weird, so I avoid the bug tracker. Emerge 3.1.3-r1 and you will get the German locale back.
