[Bug 512285] Re: Translations missing due to universe demotion

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

** Description changed:

+ Impact: The translations are missing from the package tuxtype-data, affecting all international users.
+ Cause: Tuxtype was built for the Lucid cycle while it was still in main, so its translations were stripped to go to langpacks.
+ Then it was demoted to universe and never rebuilt, so its translations are missing from the current package in the repos.
+ Development version fix: The problem has been fixed for Maverick by just rebuilding the package. No source code changes were necessary.
+ Stable version patch: A simple version bump and a rebuild are needed, no other source or packaging changes are necessary.
+ TEST CASE: Run tuxtype, select "Options" > "Setup Language" > any language other than English. The translations aren't there so an English environment will still be shown.
+ 
+ A fixed package has been uploaded to https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ppa, has been tested, and found to be working fine.
+ Only the version number has been changed, so no regressions are expected.
+ 
+ 
+ The original bug report follows:
+ --
+ 
  Binary package hint: tuxtype
  
  In package' s lucid lynx when I try to change the language to spanish, it fails.
  Don't closes itself, don't report errors in terminal, but the language don't change.
