So, the version of ruby-gettext-setup is pretty outdated and predates 
Puppet's i18n system. When pulled in via i18n-enabled Puppet modules 
(e.g. ruby-puppet-forge), it will completely hijack Puppet's gettext 
default domain, causing breakage. This has been fixed upstream[1] in 
0.17.

We should upgrade ruby-gettext-setup to the latest upstream version.

Apollon
