[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#865086: xen-hypervisor-4.8-amd64: Default grub entry broken with locales (how to reproduce)

[Hans van Kranenburg]

Hi,

Can anyone explain me how I can reproduce this failure, and how exactly
I can verify the fix? From a QA POV I'd like to verify this before
applying. I don't have a lot of experience with gettext.

What I did to test is (buster dom0 with latest xen 4.11 from unstable):

-# dpkg-reconfigure locales
   -> also select nl_NL.UTF-8 UTF-8
   -> choose nl_NL.UTF-8 as default instead of en_US.UTF-8

-# apt-get update
[...]

Ok, that looks dutch.

-# update-grub
Generating grub configuration file ...
[...]
done

-# grep Xen /boot/grub/grub.cfg |sed 's/ --class.*//;s/\$menuentry.*//'
   set default="Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen hypervisor"
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen hypervisor'
	echo	'Loading Xen 4.11-amd64 ...'
submenu 'Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux (with Xen hypervisor)'
	submenu 'Xen hypervisor, version 4.11-amd64'
		menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.11-amd64 and Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64'
			echo	'Loading Xen 4.11-amd64 ...'
		menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.11-amd64 and Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64'
			echo	'Loading Xen 4.11-amd64 ...'
	submenu 'Xen hypervisor, version 4.11-amd64.efi'
		menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.11-amd64.efi and Linux
4.18.0-2-amd64'
			echo	'Loading Xen 4.11-amd64.efi ...'
		menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.11-amd64.efi and Linux
4.18.0-1-amd64'
			echo	'Loading Xen 4.11-amd64.efi ...'
	submenu 'Xen hypervisor, version 4.11-amd64.config'
		menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.11-amd64.config and Linux
4.18.0-2-amd64'
			echo	'Loading Xen 4.11-amd64.config ...'
		menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.11-amd64.config and Linux
4.18.0-1-amd64'
			echo	'Loading Xen 4.11-amd64.config ...'

So, as a result of applying this patch, I would like to see all of this
translated in Dutch.

At this point, the first thing I want to test is if I can see that the
gettext commands give me dutch output for things:

-# env |grep LANG
LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8

-# printf "$(gettext "%s, with Xen hypervisor")" "Debian GNU/Linux"
Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen hypervisor

-# dpkg -L grub-common |grep -i nl
/usr/share/locale/nl
/usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES
/usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo

-# strings /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo |grep Xen
%s, with Xen %s and Linux %s
%s, with Xen hypervisor

Ok, so those are the translations that I can get...

What am I doing wrong, so that the first test already doesn't give me:
"Debian GNU/Linux, met Xen-hypervisor"

Thanks,
Hans
