Package: gettext Version: 0.14.1-2 Severity: normal Hi there,
When asked to extract the following line: INVALID_BASENAME=$(gettext 'Invalid basename: %s.\n') xgettext produce the following entry in the pot: #: util/orphaner.sh:47 #, sh-format msgid "Invalid basename: %s.\\n" msgstr "" It looks like there is a \ too much. This is at least disorienting for translators. Why should it be treated different from the C equivalent? An example can be found here: http://deborphan.alioth.debian.org/deborphan-1.7.4.1/ I think this is an upstream bug, but I'm not 100% sure. Moreover, since I failed to find the [EMAIL PROTECTED] archive list, I prefere to go for the safer way an use the Debian BTS. Thanks a lot, Mt. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages gettext depends on: ii gettext-base 0.14.1-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries -- no debconf information
