[Bug 1311396] Re: broken translations results in traceback in new release notification

[Adam Conrad]

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/1:0.156.14.14 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

  broken translations results in traceback in new release notification

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1) Install one of the affected languages
  2) Make it the primary language
  3) In a terminal run '/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk' for saucy
     In a terminal run '/usr/lib/update-manager/check-new-release-gtk -d' for precise
  4) Observe a Traceback ending in a "ValueError: incomplete format" in precise the traceback says "ValueError: unsupported format character"

  With the package from -proposed you should not see a Traceback, but
  rather a notification window about the new release of Ubuntu.

  The error bucket at
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/50c8f7b892dd75b531ac7d68a07ec11541387013
  contains the following traceback.

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk", line 113, in new_dist_available
      self.window_main.set_title(_("Ubuntu %(version)s Upgrade Available") % {'version': new_dist.version})
  ValueError: incomplete format

  This is due to a bad translation for the Croatian (hr) language.

  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/ubuntu-
  release-upgrader/+pots/ubuntu-release-
  upgrader/hr/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=Upgrade+Available

  "Dostupna nadogradnja Ubuntu %(version)"

  Notice the missing s after version. This is causing check-new-release-
  gtk to fail to notify users of a new release.
