Bug 96840 – Bad LINGUAS-example when emerging kde-i18n

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Magnus Johansson 2005-06-23 02:41:57 UTC]

When trying to install kde-i18n with a bad or missing LINGUAS variable the  
ebuild gives the following error:  
  
* 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="se de pt"  
  
However, the language code "se" given in the example is not a valid code. The  
correct code should be "sv". This caused me, as a swede, some trouble when  
trying to install the swedish language pack, since I recognized "se" as the  
code for sweden, and naturally tried it first.  This is for kde-i18n-3.3.2, 
btw. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. unset LINGUAS 
2. emerge kde-i18n 
3. Read the error message. 
4. export LINGUAS="se"; emerge kde-i18n 
5. Get the same error message again. 
  
Actual Results:  
kde-i18n for swedish did not get installed. 

Expected Results:  
It should have said "sv" instead of "se" in the example it gave.

Agreed, it's fixed now.
