[DRE-maint] Bug#726797: ruby-gettext: rxgettext fails with uninitialized constant GetText::Tools::XGetText::PO (NameError)

[Francesco Poli (wintermute)]

Package: ruby-gettext
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: normal

Hello,
since bug #716916 [1] was fixed a while ago, I thought I could test
rxgettext again.
I took the test case described in bug #684182 [2].

Mmmmmh, there seems to be something wrong!

  $ rxgettext --copyright-holder="Francesco Poli" \
    --package-name=myapplication --package-version=0.1 \
    --msgid-bugs-address="address at example.com" \
    myapplication.rb -o myapplication_RXGETTEXT.pot
  /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gettext/tools/xgettext.rb:163:in `parse': uninitialized constant GetText::Tools::XGetText::PO (NameError)
          from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gettext/tools/xgettext.rb:216:in `generate_pot'
          from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gettext/tools/xgettext.rb:150:in `run'
          from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/gettext/tools/xgettext.rb:33:in `run'
          from /usr/bin/rxgettext:24:in `<main>'

I get the same exact error even with the simple:

  $ rxgettext myapplication.rb -o myapplication_RXGETTEXT.pot


Am I using the tool in a wrong way?

Please clarify and/or fix the issue and/or forward my report upstream!
Thanks for your time.
