Package: lintian Version: 1.23.26 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
Since gettext 0.16, msgcmp's behaviour regarding untranslated entries has changed. Quote from NEWS: ---------------------------------------- * msgcmp now ignores fuzzy and untranslated messages in the PO file. Previously it considered fuzzy and untranslated messages the same way as translated messages, which was hardly useful. The previous behaviour can be obtained through the options --use-fuzzy --use-untranslated. ---------------------------------------- This affects po-debconf's check, since it compares a newly extracted test.pot with the templates.pot from the package. Since both .pot files contain only untranslated entries, msgcmp complains: $ msgcmp debian/po/test.pot debian/po/templates.pot debian/po/test.pot:22: this message is untranslated debian/po/test.pot:30: this message is untranslated debian/po/test.pot:37: this message is untranslated debian/po/test.pot:45: this message is untranslated debian/po/test.pot:22: warning: this message is not used debian/po/test.pot:30: warning: this message is not used debian/po/test.pot:37: warning: this message is not used debian/po/test.pot:45: warning: this message is not used msgcmp: found 4 fatal errors To avoid this, please change system_env("/usr/bin/msgcmp debfiles/po/test.pot .... to system_env("/usr/bin/msgcmp --use-untranslated debfiles/......
