Description Domingo Becker 2009-09-15 14:00:44 UTC

Description of problem:
There's a string in elfutils.pot [1] in line 1586 which seems to be wrong. 
It is the following:
msgid " Length  Number  % of total  Coverage\n"

It comes from 
#: ../src/readelf.c:2610
#, c-format

This means that the string in ../src/readelf.c:2610 should be
" Length  Number  %% of total  Coverage\n"
in order to be treatable by gettext library used by Fedora translations tools.

If this is not corrected, there will be no possibility to submit translations through translate.fedoraproject.org for any language. The error will not pass 'msgfmt -c' and will prevent any submission.

That string is a literal, not a format string.  See the source:

      fputs_unlocked (gettext ("\
 Length  Number  % of total  Coverage\n"), stdout);

Please file a bug for xgettext wrongly annotating this with "c-format".
