When I emerge OpenOffice with "LANGUAGE=49 emerge openoffice" emerge starts to download the help_content file for English instead of German. I looked into the ebuild but couldn't see why that wrong behavior occurs. Here's the output of what happens: localhost / # LANGUAGE=49 emerge openoffice Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-office/openoffice-1.0.3-r1 to / >>> Downloading ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/distfiles/helpcontent_01_unix.tgz --00:56:50-- ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/distfiles/helpcontent_01_unix.tgz => `/usr/portage/distfiles/helpcontent_01_unix.tgz' Resolving ftp.tu-clausthal.de... done.

I've found the cause for the bug. When I manually downloaded helpcontent_49_unix.tgz, I got the following error message: !!! No message digest entry found for file "helpcontent_49_unix.tgz." !!! Most likely a temporary problem. Try 'emerge rsync' again later. !!! If you are certain of the authenticity of the file then you may type !!! the following to generate a new digest: !!! ebuild /usr/portage/category/package/package-version.ebuild digest I looked at the corresponding digest file and saw that only the digest for the helpcontent_01_unix.tgz was there. When I added the MD5 sum to the digest file, emerge used the correct file. I added the following line to the digest: MD5 7e75feae2492399edc40060c652975f5 helpcontent_49_unix.tgz 13640088
The openoffice ebuilds do not provide localized help files yet. As we don't want users to need to download all available help files we need to find a solution for still having a correct dynamic download list. Also help files are not available for all localisations yet, so some kind of smart behaviour is needed. But especially not wanting to download all localised help files is a point that might only be helped with portage changes. At least the help method provided in the 1.0.x ebuilds is incorrect. I will be looking into internationalization on a more general level shortly, but for now you have to do things manually.
Move deprecated ebuild still being marked as LATER to Fixed.
