Description Amit Ugol 2023-06-26 17:15:48 UTC

Compilation fails for locales in the media-sound/audacity with the error:

FAILED: bin/RelWithDebInfo/locale/be/LC_MESSAGES/audacity.mo /var/tmp/portage/media-sound/audacity-3.2.5-r1/work/audacity-Audacity-3.2.5_build/bin/RelWithDebInfo/locale/be/LC_MESSAGES/audacity.mo

/usr/bin/msgfmt: found 1 fatal error

Reproducible: Always

a valid workaround is to tag the problematic locale as fuzzy

Please attach the full build.log (compressed if necessary; no external links as they expire) and include emerge --info as a comment.

added fuzzy to be, fa and fr

Adding fuzzy to be.po, fa.po and fr.po at specific errors seems to have fixed this issue for this package.

Actually this only fixes the build, the format string will still be broken at runtime.
