  [Original Report]

  
  Here is an update for a SRU for Onboard shipping currently with precise that addresses the bugs that have been filed against Onboard 0.97.0 because of crashes of Onboard due to errors in the translation files:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/999155
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013279

  The patch proposed here has been derived from Onboard 0.97.1 after it turned out, that 0.97.1 is not a good candidate for an SRU because of the huge difference to version 0.97.0. You might have a look at comment 18, 19 and 20 of the following bug thread:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/onboard/+bug/999111

  Onboard 0.97.1, which the patch has been derived from, is in Ubuntu
  Quantal and there has not been any new bug filed because of crashes
  due to errors in language files until now.

  If the language packs have not been updated meanwhile, the fix can be tested by using the Czech localisation:
  - without patch: Onboard crashes because of the error in the cs localisation file
  - with the path: the error in the cs localisation file is catched by the code in Onboard that does not crash anymore

  The direct impact of problems in Onboard should not be very widespread, as apart the ubuntu-* metapackages, there is no other package depending on it:
  $ apt-cache rdepends onboard
  onboard
  Reverse Depends:
    onboard:i386
    onboard:i386
    xubuntu-desktop
    ubuntu-sugar-remix
    ubuntu-desktop
  $

  If you need any additional pieces of information, please do not
  hesitate to ask for it.

  Thanks in advance for taking this SRU into account.

  Cheers,

  Francesco
