According to http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/reports/2018Q3/NetBSD-8.0-x86_64/20181109.1909/pan-0.145nb1/build.log it uses msgfmt --xml and msgfmt --desktop. I can find that in pan-0.145/Makefile.am: pan.desktop: pan.desktop.in $(AM_V_GEN)$(MSGFMT) --desktop --template $< -d $(top_srcdir)/po -o $@ [...] pan.appdata.xml: pan.appdata.xml.in $(AM_V_GEN)$(MSGFMT) --xml --template $< -d $(top_srcdir)/po -o $@ I suppose I can do without those files (I don't use any "desktop" anyway), but it would make the package incomplete for others. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- "What good is a Ring of Power \X/ rhialto/at/falu.nl -- if you're unable...to Speak." - Agent Elrond
