As usual, no talking here. If you have found a package failing to use >=gettext-0.19 open a new bug and make that one block this tracker bug.
All of these issues are fixed by the following upstream commit, which restores the old msgfmt behavior: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/commit/?h=maint&id=317449061ac9b2ed2a24fa51de1bc75278ae8497 Please add this patch to portage.
(In reply to Alexandre Rostovtsev from comment #1) Note that this change will be in gettext-0.19.1 (not released yet)
(In reply to Alexandre Rostovtsev from comment #2) > (In reply to Alexandre Rostovtsev from comment #1) > > Note that this change will be in gettext-0.19.1 (not released yet) I would either backport the patch or hardmask 0.19.0 until 0.19.1 is released then
gettext-0.19.1 is now in the tree.
gettext-0.19 is stable now
