Bug#585393: Problem in Danish DDTP translation (or in debian_bundle deb822?)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

the DDTP gatherer for UDD[1] produced an error in a Danish translation
which contains in line 3048:

  Description-da: : Islamic hijri date and prayer time utilities

I fixed this in the DDTP webform and thus the problem might vanish
sooner or later but I wonder if this is another case of not robust
parsing.  I'm not totally sure about RFC 822 and so I don't know what
the correct behaviour in cases like this should be but the double ':'
obviosely confuses the parser and leads to a KeyError "Key
Description-da not found".  I just catched this exception in the
ddtp_gatherer code but I wonder how to solve this cleanly.  

The problem is in

  http://ddtp.debian.net/Translation_udd/dists/squeeze/main/i18n/Translation-da.gz
  (as well as in
  http://ddtp.debian.net/Translation_udd/dists/sid/main/i18n/Translation-da.gz )

and I think it should properly parse the Description-da key or
at least issue a warning about bogus data.

Kind regards

         Andreas.

PS: If you regard this problem as to different from the previousely
    reported one I can open a new bug report.
