Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; sv-SE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Debian/1.7.8-1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0.2 and 1.0 localizations

The uuid string (which I thought was supposed to uniquely identify a package) is
the same for the following Thunderbird translations: 
{64E9B0F9-912E-4aa9-91A1-3C9684A23CD7} ast:ES
{64E9B0F9-912E-4aa9-91A1-3C9684A23CD7} de:DE
{64E9B0F9-912E-4aa9-91A1-3C9684A23CD7} ko:KR
{64E9B0F9-912E-4aa9-91A1-3C9684A23CD7} sk:SK
{6B0F9-912E-4aa9-91A1-384A23CD7} el:GR
{6B0F9-912E-4aa9-91A1-384A23CD7} pa:IN
{bedebf85-31ac-427c-a95a-ded597452e6d} cs:CZ
{bedebf85-31ac-427c-a95a-ded597452e6d} pl:PL
{d15bb500-dbf8-43d0-969f-aeb5a25db65b} fi:FI
{d15bb500-dbf8-43d0-969f-aeb5a25db65b} tr:TR

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unpack the xpi-files into different directories
2. Compare the uuid's in the install.rdf files
3.

Actual Results:  
The uuid's are the same !

Expected Results:  
Different packages should have different uuid's.

There is a howto on writing Thunderbird/Firefox packages at:
http://www.bengoodger.com/software/mb/extensions/howto.html
which includes how to generate a uuid.
The situation currently in Thunderbird L10Ns CVS is different from TB 1.0's
situation which seems to be presented above. I did some manual comparisions and
found out the UUID {fc121405-5aef-4291-86c6-8b43b04194b7} is used by the
following locales: ca, el, ga-IE, he, nl, tr, pa-IN, zh-CN.

Other locales had unique UUIDs at the moment.
ga-IE is now fixed.
I have fixed (tr, tr-TR)  the variable "MOZ_LANGPACK_EID" in file
"tr/mail/deifines.inc" with IRC Bots help.



IRC Logs:

<thebot> c84591f9-2cf2-4519-ba26-dd320bb7bc97
<E_Kaplan> thank you thebot
fixed in he localization
Is this still an issue for current builds and langpacks? If not, then please
resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks.
AFAICT, UUIDs are now generated automatically:
http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/file/24b8803d73c0/mail/locales/Makefile.in#l67

I believe this was fixed by bug 307225, way back in 2005. Thus, resolving as WORKSFORME per comment 5.
