Have you installed that rpm from an openSUSE repo? Then report the error in
bugzilla.

Use the English US locale.

WARNING can not load translation file locale/en/rpmorphan_trans.pl

When you read this, you will see that it is a WARNING, not an ERROR.

It may be a “WARNING” but the problem is that rpmorphan does not run after issuing the “WARNING”, so I would regard it as an “ERROR”. Using openSUSE 11.4 64-bit, rpmorphan version 1.8-1.1 installed from /repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Contrib/openSUSE_11.4

I can confirm same issue in 11.4 x64

something in the program/packaging is wrong, the path to rpmorphan_trans.pl is improperly set

if you want it to work do this: you need to copy (or create a link) /usr/share/rpmorphan/locale/en/rpmorphan_trans.pl to locale/en/rpmorphan_trans.pl

where locale/en/ is a folder you’ll need to create in the directory you are running rpmorphan in because that’s where it’s looking for rpmorphan_trans.pl

This RPM works for me on openSUSE 11.4 64-bit:

Download rpmorphan from SourceForge.net
