Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2008-10-05 23:45:25 UTC
I'm afraid there isn't much we can do about this. The Arabic KDE translation team wasn't able to keep their translation up to date and complete for KDE 4.1, so it was dropped, and so we can't update it anymore, and in particular we can't fix it to produce no conflicts with our updated kde-i18n packages.

Maybe it would be best to just exclude the dead kde-l10n-Arabic (and all the other kde-l10n-* stuff which has no 4.1.x version available, this affects a few other languages) from the respins? Putting an exclude=kde-l10n-* on the Everything repo (i.e. only allowing kde-l10n-* stuff from updates) should work.

It's too bad such a commonly-spoken language as Arabic doesn't have a more active translation team at upstream KDE.

Besides the upstream Arabic KDE translation issue, can you update the package so that it doesn't conflict anymore? Either one could obsolete the other, one could no longer provide the conflicting file, ... ?

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2008-10-06 00:20:20 UTC
All the kde-l10n-* packages are built from a single SRPM which expects a single version to build, not some 4.1 and some 4.0 stuff.

Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2008-10-30 12:39:35 UTC
See http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/stable-kde4/team/ar/ for the sad state of affairs the Arabic translation is in for KDE 4.1.

Comment 7 Jeroen van Meeuwen 2008-10-30 12:44:29 UTC
Again I recognize there is trouble upstream but that doesn't justify deferring a packaging issue on our side, IMHO.

Comment 8 Kevin Kofler 2008-10-30 12:49:51 UTC
kde-l10n-Arabic comes from an old SRPM, it can't be built from the current one because upstream dropped it from their current releases. The only safe thing to do is to uninstall it, resp. to exclude it from respins. The package is to effectively consider dropped.

Comment 9 Kevin Kofler 2008-10-30 13:01:56 UTC
The ONLY way you can get this fixed is by getting a team of Arabic translators to work on the upstream translations so they can get reincluded in a later release (but it's too late for 4.1.3 already and there probably won't be another release before 4.2.0).

Comment 10 Rex Dieter 2008-10-30 14:38:59 UTC
If there's no upgrade path, then the old, now awol pkg needs to be EOL'd and Obsoletes'd somewhere (kdelibs?).

In the meantime, kcmlilo.mo can/should be omitted from kde-i18n anyway, (it's not used anywhere... or is it?)

Comment 11 Steven M. Parrish 2008-11-22 23:25:10 UTC
Since this is an upstream issue which is not and may not be addressed any time in the foreseeable future, going to close this as WONTFIX
