Today I committed a French translation update from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=920492 However, this translation seems outdated as Beatrice mentions above. When I now call "make update-po", all po files (!) are changed again because of changings like this: @@ -3185,7 +3185,7 @@ msgid "" "management system (dpkg) will send an error message that it also needs " "<package>binutils</package>, and stop installing " "<package>gcc</package>. (However, this facility can be overridden by the " -"insistent user, see <manref section=\"8\" name=\"dpkg\">.) See more in <ref " +"insistent user, see <manref name=\"dpkg\" section=\"8\">.) See more in <ref " "id=\"depends\"> below." Means the "section=xxx" and "name=yyy" parts within <manref ... > are swapped, leading to 18 fuzzy strings :-(( I remember such issue from years ago. But is this still an unfixed issue? This way we cannot get the translations up-to-date, hrrrr ... Is this known? How to deal with this? Beatrice: which Debian version are you using? I wonder if the tools in Debian unstable behave different from those in Debian stable (I'm trying to explain, what happens here). I am using Debian stable.
