With my first update-po, at least for Italian, there were some real "updates" with new messages and changed messages, not only this kind of changes with just a different order of the items in the tags. After all, you only need one "make update-po" after some changes in the original text. Then you won't need to run it again until the original text changes. But, yes, it is an annoying problem. > Means the "section=xxx" and "name=yyy" parts within <manref ... > are swapped, > leading to 18 fuzzy strings :-(( > > I remember such issue from years ago.

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725931 Anyway as far as I can see, the proposed work around is already implemented in the Makefile of the faq that already contains "PERL_PERTURB_KEYS=0 PERL_HASH_SEED=0". > Beatrice: which Debian version are you using?
