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.
