[Bug 924628] Re: package libapt-pkg4.12 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: './usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/libapt-pkg4.12.mo' is different from the same file on the system

[Steve Langasek]

This is completely unrelated to bug #871083, which is a bug specific to
gzip.  I haven't investigated this issue yet, but I suspect the apt
source strings differ across architectures, causing different
translations to be used for each.  That's the only explanation I have
for .mo files being different on each architecture.
