Bug Description

Binary package hint: command-not-found

command-not-found needs to generate a POT template on build for its translatable messages to be exposed in Launchpad.

In this way, on every upload the template will be refreshed in Launchpad. Right now, the template is present in Launchpad, but it's outdated, making it impossible to translate e.g. the "No command '%s' found, did you mean:" message, because it's not in Launchpad.

This is because the package contains an outdated po/command-not-found.pot file, and that's the one that gets imported. An easy fix is to simply add the following to debian/rules, just below the './setup.py build' line in the build-stamp rule:

cd po; intltool-update -p -g command-not-found

In the meantime, I've manually uploaded an updated template in Launchpad, which should be available shortly

They are, however, in the upstream template, e.g. https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/command-not-found/trunk/+pots/command-not-found/ca/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=did+you+mean

Could it be that in the Ubuntu package are not marked for translation?

This could be verified by looking at the sources of the Ubuntu package or by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Internationalisation/RecipeVerifyingTranslationUploads

I've just discovered what's happening.

The source package contains an old .pot file from 2007, and this template is being picked up by Launchpad on upload. In principle, .pot files should not be shipped in source packages, as they are files which are constantly regenerated, but updating it in debian/rules does the trick as well.

I'm attaching a patch that does that: generate the .pot file at package build time. I'm not a packager, so it can probably be improved :)
