Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.43.4-2
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n

Dear Maintainer,

the German localization of the following message:

some-server ~ # LANG=C e2fsck -f /dev/vg/some-lv
e2fsck 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Inode 529618 extent tree (at level 1) could be shorter.  Fix<y>?

contains uninterpreted escape sequences instead of the actual values:

some-server ~ # LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 e2fsck -f /dev/vg/some-lv
e2fsck 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017)
Durchgang 1: Inodes, Blöcke und Größen werden geprüft
Der Erweiterungsbaum von Inode %$i (auf Ebene %$b) könnte kürzer sein.  
Reparieren<j>?

If I understand the issue correctly, the translations are attempting to use a
printf escape that might not be supported by the compiler...? Wikipedia says
"Parameter field - This is a POSIX extension and not in C99."

The following *.po files might be affected:

cs.po
de.po
hu.po
nl.po
pl.po
tr.po
vi.po
