Description Matěj Cepl 2008-12-01 15:34:03 UTC
Description of problem:
When trying to update po files in gajim, I got this error:

[matej@viklef po]$ make update-po
make gajim.pot
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/matej/redhat/BUILD/gajim/po'
INTLTOOL_EXTRACT=/usr/bin/intltool-extract srcdir=. /usr/bin/intltool-update --gettext-package gajim --pot
./../src/common/config.py:180: warning: 'msgid' format string with unnamed arguments cannot be properly localized:
                                        The translator cannot reorder the arguments.
                                        Please consider using a format string with named arguments,
                                        and a mapping instead of a tuple for the arguments.
ERROR: xgettext failed to generate PO template file. Please consult
       error message above if there is any.
make[1]: *** [gajim.pot] Error 1

[matej@viklef po]$ 

When I filed my ticket (which was closed as duplicate of http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/4166), I was told that it is actually bug in xgettext which has been already fixed in Debian (bugs.debian.org/433743 and bugs.debian.org/493218).

I have no idea, whether they sent patches upstream.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gettext-0.17-8.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
100%

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2009-02-12 06:19:00 UTC
As far as I can tell the first patch (in debian#433743) is already installed upstream in 0.17.

I am adding the second one from debian#493218 in gettext-0.17-9.fc11.

Can you please change that that solves the problem for you?  Thanks.

Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2009-03-05 09:14:02 UTC
Yes, gettext-0.17-9.fc11 works. Please, build it for F10 as well.

Thank you

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2009-03-06 03:58:42 UTC
Thanks - then moving to F10.
