ja.po:568: invalid multibyte sequence

too many errors, aborting

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-05-31 07:46:36 UTC 
This compiled with an older gettext... Did gettext switch to a different 
encoding?
Comment 2 Enrico Scholz 2001-05-31 09:06:16 UTC 
Bug #40656 tells some details and a possible  workaround
(OLD_PO_FILE_INPUT=yes).
Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-05-31 12:37:25 UTC 
That can't be blindly used, since I don't know ow a proper way to identify
whether or not the format is old or new... I'm still waiting on feedback from
the Japanese office on how to do that.
Comment 4 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-06-04 14:01:25 UTC 
OK, we're going for the OLD_PO_FILE_INPUT.
