[Bug 993672] Re: Ships malformed interactive upgrade hook which causes translations to be shown in the dialog

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package update-notifier - 0.119ubuntu8.4

---------------
update-notifier (0.119ubuntu8.4) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Rebuild the source package with complete autotools support.

update-notifier (0.119ubuntu8.3) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * po/*.po: the string '$packages' must not be translated, but we currently
    have no way to mark the string as such in the input files.  LP: #1003100.

update-notifier (0.119ubuntu8.2) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * fix data/Makefile.am to clean up all generated files.
  * fix wrong intltool-merge invocation.
  * data/package-data-downloads-failed{,-permanently}.in: work around a bug in
    intltool-merge rfc822deb handling that causes wrong syntax when the first
    line in the file is a translated field.  LP: #993672.
  * use po2debconf instead of the upstream intltool-merge, since the latter
    doesn't actually handle multi-paragraph description fields correctly.
  * Fix package-data-downloader to do a correct timestamp comparison.  Thanks
    to Loïc Minier for catching this.  LP: #986183.
  * data/package-data-downloads-failed.in: use pkexec instead of gksudo, for
    compatibility with Kubuntu.  Thanks to Jonathan Thomas for pointing out
    the correct fix.  LP: #982032.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The package-data-downloads-failed and package-data-downloads-failed-permanently interactive upgrade hooks shipped with update-notifier-common are malformed. In each file, the internationalized Name fields of every supported language are scrunched up in to one line. This breaks the Kubuntu upgrade hook notifier, making the window extremely large.

  [Test case]
  1. Run sudo cp /usr/share/update-notifier/package-data-downloads-failed /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/
  2. Verify that the notification which appears is malformed
  3. Upgrade to the update-notifier-common package from precise-proposed
  4. Run the command from step 1 again
  5. Verify that the notification which appears is correctly formed, and in your configured language
