[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#812127: login: wrong German error message

[Markus Hiereth]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.8.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #812127

Dear Maintainer,

besides working on the German po-file for the shadow project manual 
pages, this old bug in the Debian bug database caught my attention. It 
is really simple to fix.

I'm afraid the po file of my colleague of the German language team, 
Holger Wansing (message #52) has not been introduced in the sources 
because, according to message #57, the developers worked on the newer 
version 4.9. This would be sad.

I'm quite sure that Holgers message catalogue could be merged somehow 
with the current one.

To fix at least the reported bug without further delay, I attach a patch 
file.

Best regards
Markus
