[Bug 222038] Re: Firestarter fails to run on locales other than English

[Jonathan Marsden]

Laney,

I've tested this in a Jaunty VM in English, French, German, Spanish and
Filipino.  It appears to work fine in all of those locales.  My Russian
is too minimal for me to try it out in that locale :)

In the process of testing and packaging it, I fixed a few lintian
issues, added a watch file, and shrank the diff.gz by getting
config.guess and config.sub changes out of it.

Jaunty's lintian finds some Warnings:

 I: firestarter: arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share 1420kB 72%
 W: firestarter: script-calls-init-script-directly ./etc/network/if-down.d/50firestarter:3
 W: firestarter: script-calls-init-script-directly ./etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter:3
 W: firestarter: script-calls-init-script-directly ./etc/ppp/ip-down.d/50firestarter:3
 W: firestarter: script-calls-init-script-directly ./etc/ppp/ip-up.d/50firestarter:3
 W: firestarter: copyright-refers-to-versionless-license-file usr/share/common-licenses/GPL

There is also one source file src/eggtrayicon.c which has an LGPL v2 or
later licence (with the old address) and a copyright attribution to a
different person than the program as a whole.  This is not mentioned in
debian/copyright, which IMO is probably a licencing bug.

I'm attaching my debdiff.  You can either go with my changes, or (if it
is too close to Jaunty release for that) just go with the original patch
for the locale issue, whichever is best for Ubuntu.
