libc translations not imported from upstream

Clarification: they were not just untranslated in maverick, they were untranslated in every ubuntu series.

Actually, it was all fixed as a result of me marking that suspicious po/header.pot as 'Deleted': and it was not just from October, I am sure it has been present for years as well, since there was one from May, there's one from 2009-10-31 in Lucid queue (and there's another one), and even in Karmic. They are all "blocked", though, which might be what is causing the problem (i.e. PO files in the same path as the blocked POT file get blocked themselves).

I am not sure we can do much about this on the Launchpad side: simply having two POT files in the same path (po/libc.pot and po/header.pot) is wrong, and should be fixed in the package instead. We might do something about it if the file was not in the 'blocked' state, but it's impossible to relate PO files to a blocked POT file other than through a path.

To clarify, the solution to this bug is for eglibc source package not to build po/header.pot (which is empty anyway). Or perhaps just to clean it up after build and before all translations are sent the Launchpad way.

Could something like this be affecting other packages?

I haven't seen any other package with this particular problem (empty
header.pot), but if you've observed anything similar, please, feel free
to report a new bug.

Thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package eglibc - 2.12.1-0ubuntu11

---------------
eglibc (2.12.1-0ubuntu11) natty; urgency=low

  * Update to the eglibc 2.12 branch (r12365).
    - Fix alignment of AVX safe area on x86_64, issue #12113. LP: #662511.
    - Fix issue #12159, x86-64 strchr propagation of search byte into all bytes
      of SSE register. (LP: #615953)
    - any/cvs-audit-suid.diff, any/cvs-getlogin_r-error-handling-1.patch,
      any/cvs-getlogin_r-error-handling-2.patch, any/cvs-issue12092.diff,
      any/cvs-getlogin_r-error-handling-3.patch, any/cvs-issue12113.diff,
      any/cvs-issue11968.diff: Remove, merged upstream.
    - any/cvs-dst-expansion-fix.diff, any/submitted-etc-resolv.conf.diff,
      locale/locale-print-LANGUAGE.diff: Updated.

  * Sort changelog entries with bzr-builddeb's merge_changelog to help merging
    with Debian; update Debian changelog entries to their latest version, and
    drop Debian changelog entries which aren't in the unstable changelog; this
    keeps the diff between Debian unstable's changelog and Ubuntu's changelog
    minimal (only Ubuntu entries) and makes it easier to review new Debian
    changes.
  * Copy binutils [mips mipsel] build-dep to minimize delta with Debian's
    build-deps.
  * Drop Vcs-Bzr; this package is now maintained in lp:ubuntu/eglibc.
  * Drop version in texinfo build-dep; this is satisfied even in dapper.
  * Move belocs-locales-bin conflicts around to lower the diff with Debian's
    control.
  * Copy Debian's libc6-dev-i386 Conflicts with libc6-i386 (<= 2.9-18) for
    some older upgrades; this seems to apply to Ubuntu as well, and reduces
    the delta with Debian just a bit. libc6-dev-i386 is not a commonly
    installed package, and this is satisfied in lucid and later anyway, so it
    shouldn't make upgrades harder, except if people use backports.
  * Drop debian/control.in/libc0.1, libc0.3, libc6, and libc6.1 (these are
    automatically generated) after confirming that generating them results in
    the same data.
  * Drop debian/debhelper.in/glibc-doc.docs; ChangeLog* is already listed in
    debian/debhelper.in/glibc-doc.install.
  * Drop debian/debhelper.in/libc-alt-dev.postinst as it only helps powerpc
    upgrades from dapper versions which aren't supported on powerpc anymore.
  * debian/debhelper.in/libc.postinst: drop inconsistent quotes around 2.12.
  * debian/local/manpages/gencat.1, iconvconfig.8, mtrace.1: revert differing
    RCS timestamps.
  * debian/patches/series: drop reference to changelog version with respect to
    local-ipv6-lookup.diff as the reference is bogus.
  * Drop debian/patches/alpha/submitted-getsysstats.diff,
    submitted-includes.diff, submitted-lowlevellock.diff,
    submitted-procfs_h.diff; these should have been dropped in earlier merges
    as they are not applied anymore and were dropped from Debian.
  * Drop commented-out hppa/* lines from patches/series to be consistent with
    how other arches were handled.
  * debian/sysdeps/amd64.mk: symlink ld-linux with the same rune as Debian.
  * Drop changes to debian/sysdeps/hurd.mk; Ubuntu doesn't build for Hurd.
  * Remove debian/wrapper/objcopy; was dropped in Debian already...
