Package: gtranslator
Version: 1.1.6-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When I save some po files, the application crashes. It happens with some
po files not all, it's certainly due to a encoding problem.=20

Here is the output of gtranslator=A0:

(gtranslator:7842): gtranslator-WARNING **:
/home/sylvain/Traduction/po-debconf/Todo/ipsec-tools/fr.po:24: line
contains invalid UTF-8

(gtranslator:7842): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a
previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL
before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Invalid byte sequence in conversion
input

If this only happens when you have a broken .po file, then I don't think
that should be considered "grave".

Though the .po file you attached seems to be empty, so I can't verify this
for myself...

Subject: Empty file

I'm sorry about the empty file, it's due to the fact gtranslator empty
it and I didn't realize when sending the bug report. Actually, I edited
the file and save it with kbabel and now gtranslator didn't crash
anymore, It's certainly due to an error in encoding.

I found out the cause of the problem, it always happen when the po file
contains invalid UTF-8. It makes program crashes. So i need to re save
the file (with kbabel e.g).

So the bug gravity could be changed, but I don't know how to do.

This sounds to me a lot like:
https://launchpad.net/products/gtranslator/+bug/268 or upstream bug:
http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312616

I get a similar error:

(gtranslator:5864): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: La conversione del set di caratteri da "text/plain, charset=CHARSET" a "utf-8" non è supportata

(translation of the last line: character set conversion from "text/plain, charset=CHARSET" to "utf-8" not supported)

more times and gtranslator crashes when I try to _open_ a PO file containing the (somewhat malformed) header
"Content-Type: text/plain, charset=CHARSET\n"
Just changing the header line to
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n"
(note: the comma becomes a colon) prevents any crash.

msgfmt doesn't mind about this difference.

version: gtranslator 1.1.6 (1.1.6-3build1)

Could you please attach the file that makes it crash?

Opening this file containing the header line
"Content-Type: text/plain, charset=UTF-8\n"
causes a crash in gtranslator 1.1.6

I followed up on the upstream bug.

This is fixed in upstream cvs.
