Description Sascha Silbe 2005-08-05 12:06:27 UTC 
According to bug #48974, LINGUAS should be settable in /etc/make.conf, but it doesn't work for me.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. grep ^LINGUAS /etc/make.conf
2. emerge -v --oneshot kde-i18n
3. LINGUAS="en_US en_GB en de_DE de" emerge -v --oneshot kde-i18n

Actual Results:  
root@caravan:/# grep ^LINGUAS /etc/make.conf
LINGUAS="en_US en_GB en de_DE de"
root@caravan:/# emerge -v --oneshot kde-i18n
Calculating dependencies ...done!

>>> md5 files   ;-) files/digest-kde-i18n-3.4.2
>>> md5 files   ;-) files/digest-kde-i18n-3.3.2

 * You must define a LINGUAS environment variable that contains a list
 * of the language codes for which languages you would like to install.
 * Look at the LANGS variable inside the ebuild to see the list of
 * available languages.
 * e.g.: LINGUAS="sv de pt"

Expected Results:  
Install kde-i18n with the supported languages (i.e. de and en_GB) defined in /etc/make.conf.

Comment 1 Sven Wegener gentoo-dev 2005-08-05 12:10:19 UTC 
As you see in your emerge --info output LINGUAS is set to LINGUAS="en,de" and I
suspect that you have set LINGUAS in your environment, overriding the make.conf
setting. If you do LINGUAS="..." emerge you'll override your environment for
this one execution.
Comment 2 Sascha Silbe 2005-08-05 13:23:13 UTC 
You're right, it was caused by the environment passing feature of OpenSSH.
It's rather unfortunate Portage uses the same variable for determining system-wide settings (what languages to support at all) as other programs use for determing user (in this case administrator) preferences (what language to use for current session).
