[tribe 5] aptitude ncurses interface refers to su vs sudo in status bar notes

I have prepared a debdiff that I think should achieve this.

compiled binary to test and verify the patch. please release.

Did the following on the original patch and attach the updated patch here

sed s/root\.\ Your/root\,\ your/ LP139661.diff -i

I think this text fits in better

Hi Rolf,

+- N_("Run 'su' to become root; this will restart the program, but your settings will be preserved"), sigc::bind(sigc::ptr_fun(do_su_to_root), ""), sigc::ptr_fun(su_to_root_enabled)),
++ N_("Restart the program as root, your settings will be preserved"), sigc::bind(sigc::ptr_fun(do_su_to_root), ""), sigc::ptr_fun(su_to_root_enabled)),

Sorry, but this is a comma splice and grammatically incorrect. Would you mind regenerating the patch using a semicolon in place of this comma?

Did the following on the original patch and attach the updated patch here

sed s/root\.\ Your/root\;\ your/ LP139661.diff -i

I think this text fits better. Although it's ugly, the comma in the second version of the patch has been replaced by a semicolon to make sure this is grammatically correct.

Thanks. One further issue with the patch, which is that by running sed over the po directory, you appear to have modified all of the msgid values without leaving any indication that the translations are out-of-date. That would cause the original translations to continue to be used with minimal review, and no indication to the translation teams that a translation update is needed.

So I've adjusted the patch with a bit of magic (trim down the patch to only include the source and .pot changes; run dpatch-edit-patch with the correct locale set; ./configure && (cd po && touch aptitude.pot && make *.po); make distclean; exit 0). The amended patch is attached, which I believe is suitable for upload.

Unfortunately, aptitude fails to build for me in karmic - I don't know if this is a recent regression, or if it's a behavior change in g++-4.4. This needs more investigation yet.

Have the build problems in karmc been solved?

Unfortunately not. See bug #378997.

This bug was fixed in the package aptitude - 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu3

---------------
aptitude (0.4.11.11-1ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/11_ubuntu_uses_sudo.dpatch:
