Firefox Update to 2.0.0.10 looses localization

Hello,

since the last update to firefox 2.0.0.10-1 my firefox lost german localization. My system is de_DE.utf8 and firefox-i18n is installed.

locale says:

LANG=de_DE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ALL=

and pacman -Qs firefox says:

local/firefox 2.0.0.10-1
    Standalone web browser from mozilla.org
local/firefox-i18n 2.0.0.10-1
    Language packs for Firefox

Nothing else was changed. This is reproducible (well at least on my laptop). What's up?

See bugs:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8786
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8812

it is a mistake in the package build.  You could rebuild it by changing /usr/opt to /opt in the PKGBUILD and using ABS.

Allan,

Thank you for your quick answer. Rebuilding is not worth the effort. I guess the problem will be fixed (as always in Archlinux) in near future. I can wait that long. I saw the 'fake update' problem with firefox but was not sure if this is the cause for my problem.
