I think that I finally have understood what this bug report is about.

Unlike what I thought, the errors probably does not come from msgfmt as I thought but \
the errors are from KBabel's tool checking arguments.

The problem is that KBabel tries to check the messages as being printf parameters, \
which for normal percent signs is rather futile.

It is kind of a similar problem than bug #116859 that I have just reported.

As for fixing it, I do not know really how. (Anyway in future, if KDE4 uses the \
current Gettext development version, the problem will be different, as Gettext \
already knows in stable version about Qt's %1, %2... placeholders, so that KBabel's \
argument checking tool could be changed to give more correct results.)

Have a nice day!
