Subject: xfsprogs: xfs_quota commands are internationalized

Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2011 10:56:13 +0200

Package: xfsprogs
Version: 3.1.5
Severity: normal


If your system locale is non english and you use the xfs_quota tool, you
run into problems if you do not set LC_ALL=C in front of your command:

# xfs_quota -x -c report /home
Befehl »report« nicht gefunden

vs

# LC_ALL=C xfs_quota -x -c report /home
...

The command registration uses gettext for the command 'name', which
makes it work like this:

# xfs_quota -x -c Bericht /home
...

The manualpage does not give any hints to the fact that commands are
translated and I'd recommend to remove the _() around the registered
names to not confuse users.

    xfsprogs: Don't translate command name
    
    Command names should never be translated. Currently there is
    'xfs_quota -x -c "project"...' in one locale (C) while
    'xfs_quota -x -c "projekt"...' in another (pl_PL).
