I'm not sure it is related to the 4 times dinstall.

ddtp_i18n_check.sh reports an error:
End of block unexpected in
./Translation-files_to-check/dists/lenny/main/i18n/Translation-fr (line 1250)
p: 0, m: 0, s: 0, l: 0
File ./Translation-files_to-check/dists/lenny/main/i18n/Translation-fr has an invalid format


On line 1250, there are 2 empty line as a separator between two
translations.

The same issue occurs a few times in the file (e.g. kernel-wedge,
zope-debhelper, libgnome2-common, libbonoboui2-dev, cupsddk-drivers,
tuxguitar, gnome-control-center-dev, recode-doc, gettext-el, fdupes,
python2.5-examples, lib32stdc++6-4.1-dbg, ...), so it could be a bug
in the ddtp script which generates the Translation files.

But it seems only the French translations are affected, so it could be a
misuse or mis-validation of the DDTP interface (mail or DDTSS).

Martijn or Michael, do you understand what's happening?

I will try a manual installation of the Translation files, so that we do
not miss to much time.
