    reopen 264716
    thanks

    Hi,

    I tried aptitude 0.2.15.6-0.sarge4 and 0.2.15.6-1.

    The attached patch should fix this problem. It adds one more string
    to the pofile, but I don't think it's critical for this to be
    translated (since it's an obscure error message; the only alternative is
    to not present an error in that case at all).

    With this patch, aptitude will accept either the English name for the priority or the localized name. It won't accept a regular expression
    any more, so the documentation needs to be updated (included in the
    patch for English).

    Hmm, unfortunately there is still same problem. Bad news for Sarge release. Could you reproduce this?

    1. Run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' and choose 'ja_JP.EUCJP' for create locale. 2. Compare 'LANG=ja_JP.eucJP aptitude -s ~pstandard' and 'LANG=C aptitude -s ~pstandard'.

    Im trying to find where is the problem...

    Thanks,

    Ah I see.
    Did you revert or hadn't apply yet this patch on -4?

    This patch looks work.

    Argh, you're right...I dropped the patch on the floor.

    I found another/or relational strange thing.

    1. netkit-inetd is 'important', and inetutils-inetd is
    'optional'. inetutils-inetd provides 'inetkit-inetd'.
    (I hate such a duplication...)
    2. When I run 'aptitude install ~pimportant',
    netkit-inetd will be installed. This is correct.
    3. When I run 'aptitude install ~pimportant ~pstandard',
    inetutils-inetd will be installed. This is from netbase,
    but they depends only 'netkit-inetd'.
    4. When I run 'apt-get install netbase', netkit-inetd will be
    installed.

    If inetutils-inetd works correctly like netkit-inetd, it is not so
    important problem, but like #240576 inetutils-inetd is broken.... Damn.

    I believe inetutils-inetd should stop provide netkit-inetd, but
    something strange happens on aptitude side.

    Thanks,

    4. When I run 'apt-get install netbase', netkit-inetd will be

    My guess is that this is because netbase is depending on a virtual
    package without giving a real package before the virtual one. That
    tends to result in semirandom behavior when the package is installed.
    It is odd that aptitude is selecting inetutils-inetd, but I think that's probably being done by apt's recursive dependency fulfillment and not
    by aptitude. And of course, since inetutils-inetd conflicts with
    netkit-inetd, they can't both be installed at the same time.

    You could check whether "apt-get install netbase" picks up
    inetutils-inetd as well.
