[Debian-l10n-devel] Bug#1084811: sub2po: Fail on simple .srt file

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: translate-toolkit
Version: 3.8.4-1

I'm trying to use sub2po for the first time, and I only get a strange
error message and no POT file.  Is there something wrong with the
implementation?

Here is from a test run, with a very trunkated example file:

% cat > Ada_Zangeman_English.en.srt <<EOF
1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:10,120
 Ada and Zangamon, a tale of software, skateboards, and raspberry ice cream.

2
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:14,680
 Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Ada.
EOF
% sub2po --progress=verbose -P Ada_Zangeman_English.en.srt Ada_Zangeman_English.en.pot 
processing 1 files...
sub2po: WARNING: Error processing: input Ada_Zangeman_English.en.srt, output Ada_Zangeman_English.en.pot, template None: marshal data too short
Ada_Zangeman_English.en.srt
[###########################################] 100%
%

I expected some content in the generated POT file, but it has size zero.
