Bug#834360: intltool: generates Makefile that copies files to /usr/@DATADIRNAME@/locale/

[David Rabel]

Package: intltool
Version: 0.50.2-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Dear Maintainer,

the current version of intltool in stretch generates Makefiles that
install files to /usr/@DATADIRNAME@/locale/ instead of /usr/share/locale/ .

I came across this problem, because I tried to install audio-recorder
from source. See
https://code.launchpad.net/~audio-recorder/audio-recorder/trunk for
latest source code of audio-recorder.

intltool upstream already fixed this issue. See
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~intltool/intltool/trunk/revision/742 for a
patch. I applied this patch locally and the problem did not occur anymore.

I think this bug has potential to cause trouble for everyone who is
maintaining a package which uses intltool in the build process.


Kind Regards,
  David
