[Pkg-pascal-devel] Bug#1074706: Bug#1074706: fpc: FTBFS: make[1]: *** [Makefile:9: de] Error 1

[David Bannon]

Peter, I can confirm this is a "new and improved" thing in Trixie with 
msgfmt. Quite an unnecessary one too IMHO.  However its there.

FPC has nine or ten *.po files that will trigger the problem, so, not 
just dwriter.de.po I am afraid.

If your suggestion is to edit fpc build scripts, that will make the 
translations unavailable (obviously), do you intend to feed this bug 
back to FPC ?  I will if you don't so the next release will at least 
translate correctly.
