Summary and Info: the "*.mo" files are missing in the grub package

I did a "pacman -Syu", grub was updated ( replaced by core/grub )

the update was ok, no problem,

but I notice now a quick error message during the boot process :

error: file '/boot/grub/locale/fr.mo' not found

then the boot menu is displayed and I can boot arch linux without problem,

when I check the directory /boot/grub/locale/ I see no files, that's why I have this error message,

I use the MBR for booting grub,

I try to reinstall grub ( grub-install --recheck /dev/sda )

but I still have the same error message on boot,

the wiki says that "grub.mo" file is in /usr/share/locale/en@quot/LC_MESSAGES/ but I see no "grub.mo", no "fr.mo" in this directory, so I can not copy these files to /boot/grub/locale/,

so I think there is a bug in grub package, the "*.mo" files are missing in the grub package, because before this update I never had this error message


Steps to Reproduce:
install grub package

you will not find *.mo files in /boot/grub/locale, and no grub.mo, fr.mo, eng.mo in /usr/share/locale/en@quot/LC_MESSAGES/
This task depends upon

in fact the error message is :

error: file '/boot/grub/locale/fr.gmo' not found

so the gmo files are missing in the grub package

If you get the source from bzr, translation files are excluded and have to be pulled seperately with linguas.sh before building (see po/README). I added running linguas.sh to the the PKGBUILD, but was hit by a locale error (ASCI/UTF-8/german translation) on make. Sadly don't have time now to look into it further.

Please try 2.00.5043-2 from testing, it should contain the missing .mo files.

Can confirm fixed in 2.00.5043-2.
Btw, there is no need to manually copy *.mo files - "grub-install" puts them into /boot/grub/locale/ automatically.
