Dear maintainers,

The vdr-plugin-remote package was built for various architectures over 
400 or 1400 days ago.
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=vdr-plugin-remote&suite=sid.

There is a public error while rebuilding for loong64 in the Debian 
Package Auto-Building environment.
We have tested and found the same error on other architectures, such as 
amd64.
The error log is as follows,
```
xgettext -C -cTRANSLATORS --no-wrap -F -k -ktr -ktrNOOP 
--package-name=vdr-remote --package-version=0.7.0 
--msgid-bugs-address='<o.endriss at gmx.de>' -o po/remote.pot `ls compat.c

The full build log can be found at 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=vdr-plugin-remote&ver=0.7.0-6&arch=loong64.
Maintainers, please pay attention to the above phenomenon.
Or please generate a rootfs based on the latest archive state on another 
architecture for testing.

Share my analysis progress:
When vdr-plugin-remote was built with dependency vdr-dev 2.6.0-1.1, the 
build status was normal.
When vdr-plugin-remote was built with dependency vdr-dev 2.6.9-3(the 
lastest version), the build status was failed.
The changelog of vdr is 
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/v/vdr/vdr_2.6.9-3_changelog.

Best regards,
Dandan Zhang
