Thanks for the note.

Now that we are seeing more than four packages broken like this, I am sure
we will see a lot more.

(In addition to the three I mentioned, I think I saw same with gramps and
blackbox and maybe some others too.)

So maybe we should have a fix used for all instead of patching package by
package. (My own fix was to use my newer msgfmt from my gettext from
pkgsrc-wip.)
