[Bug 306866] [NEW] semanage crashes when locale is FR_fr

[Nebelmann]

Public bug reported:

When running semanage on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, I get the following error
trace:

root at grnx:~# semanage
Traceback (most recent call last):                  
  File "/usr/sbin/semanage", line 24, in <module>   
    import seobject                                 
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/seobject.py", line 32, in <module>
    gettext.install(PROGNAME, localedir="/usr/share/locale", unicode=1)     
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/gettext.py", line 508, in install                
    t = translation(domain, localedir, fallback=True, codeset=codeset)      
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/gettext.py", line 493, in translation            
    t = _translations.setdefault(key, class_(open(mofile, 'rb')))           
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/gettext.py", line 180, in __init__               
    self._parse(fp)                                                         
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/gettext.py", line 314, in _parse                 
    plural = v[1].split('plural=')[1]                                       
IndexError: list index out of range

A possible workaround is to modify
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/policycoreutils.mo (use msgunfmt to get
a readable version)

At line 12, change
   "Plural-forms: \n"
to
  "Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n>1;"

then "recompile" this file with msgfmt and copy the generated file to /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/policycoreutils.mo
(this error could appear in other languages too)
