I received the Git 2.6 update today. Since this update, I'm unable to launch gitk with --all. I'm receiving the following error message: Error in startup script: bad menu entry index "Éditer la vue..." while executing ".bar.view entryconf [mca "Edit view..."] -state normal" invoked from within "if {$cmdline_files ne {} || $revtreeargs ne {} || $revtreeargscmd ne {}} { # create a view for the files/dirs specified on the command line se..." (file "/usr/bin/gitk" line 12442) Launching gitk without the --all option works fine. Launching gitk with the --branches option or the --tags option is also broken -- Christophe Coevoet ``` ## Konstantin Khomoutov, 2015-09-29 13:49 Subject: Re: Gitk cannot start in the latest version when using --all Message-ID: <20150929164951.cd5dea4ab0e866e4a0b74d6f@domain007.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20150929164951.cd5dea4ab0e866e4a0b74d6f%40domain007.com In-Reply-To: <560A94E7.9090506@notk.org> ``` On Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:40:55 +0200 Christophe COEVOET wrote: > I'm installing git and gitk from the Ubuntu PPA maintained by the Git > team.

Yeah, both of these commands are working fine. -- Christophe | Stof ``` ## Konstantin Khomoutov, 2015-09-29 13:59 Subject: Re: Gitk cannot start in the latest version when using --all Message-ID: <20150929165903.893d668b86583dcf2085884b@domain007.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20150929165903.893d668b86583dcf2085884b%40domain007.com In-Reply-To: <560A9772.80503@notk.org> ``` On Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:51:46 +0200 Christophe COEVOET wrote: > >> I'm installing git and gitk from the Ubuntu PPA maintained by the > >> Git team.

OK, so the problem is that some menu entry has the title "Edit view..." which is for some reason not translated for your current locale, and then some code tries to locate it using the original title translated to French -- I fathom the command [mca] being called here stands for "Message Catalog A-something" ;-) ``` ## Alexander Rettig, 2015-09-30 14:06 Subject: Re: Gitk cannot start in the latest version when using --all Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/loom.20150930T155320-343%40post.gmane.org In-Reply-To: <20150929165903.893d668b86583dcf2085884b@domain007.com> ``` Konstantin Khomoutov 007spb.ru> writes: > > On Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:51:46 +0200 > Christophe COEVOET notk.org> wrote: > > > >> I'm installing git and gitk from the Ubuntu PPA maintained by the > > >> Git team.

But even stranger, gitk starts correctly, when no command line arguments are given in these locales (and the German locale), but with any command line argument I tried (e.g. only 'gitk .') it crashes with the error message mentioned above (they differ in the text 'bad menu entry index "Éditer la vue..."', there the translated text of the locale is shown) Furthermore I checked the translation files, there seems to be an appropriate entry for "Edit view..." for all languages. ```
