Yeah, this is probably correct, we should not switch the LTR status if the 
main catalog of the app is not found, the thing is that as far as i remember 
that was how it worked, and looking at the code seems to agree with me.

So it must be a bug somewhere, thing is that i don't have time to debug it at 
the moment.

So if noone else has time to debug it i suggest filing a bug in bugs.kde.org 
against the kdecore/localization product and explaining the issue.

And as people will forget about it, just come here in a month or so and nag us 
again to see if someone has time to have a look.

Cheers,
  Albert
