Typo in Spanish translation

[José Manuel]

Hello there.

I've seen since a lot of time (various diffutils versions, on my Gentoo AMD
64 system) a typo on a message from the Spanish translation. My current
diffutils version (reported by "diff --version") is 2.8.7

It's the message that shows up when you compare two identical files when
using the -s flag. For example, if you do "diff -s A B" in English the
message says "Files A and B are identical". In Spanish it says "Los ficheros
A y B con idénticos". It should say "son" instead of "con", so the right
message should be "Los ficheros A y B son idénticos".

Okay, checking /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/diffutils.mo, I see the
wrong lines are these:

msgid "Files %s and %s are identical\n"
msgstr "Los ficheros %s y %s con idénticos\n"

Please change them to:

msgid "Files %s and %s are identical\n"
msgstr "Los ficheros %s y %s son idénticos\n"

Thank you,
José Manuel

Thanks for the report. However, translation bugs should be reported to
the address of the appropriate translation team. Generally, translators
are encouraged to make 'program --help' also output information on where
to report translations; if this is not the case in the diffutils Spanish
translation, you may want to report that as a secondary bug.

Hi.

Thanks José Manuel for the reminder. I've sent a new translation to
the Translation Project Robot.

Speaking on behalf of Debian now: Will there be a new diffutils 2.9
stable release sometime soon?

diffutils 2.8.1 is already seven years old. Several bugs in 2.8.1 are
fixed in 2.8.7. Fixing bugs in 2.8.x is nice, but not everybody will
benefit from it unless there is a stable release.
