No, but good idea.

The command that fails, from ps, seems to be

  /usr/pkg/bin/python2.7 -s /usr/pkg/bin/itstool -m ../cs/cs.mo ..//C/gnumeric.xml

I think it's try to read ascii and output utf-8, if I read the errors correctly.

Good question.   I think that's right; the issue is why the call just
earlier failed.

"ascii" does not show up in itstool.
I'll keep looking for it.
