The problem in Bug 42264 seems to be related to the fact that gettext
has problems identifying C printf strings as such when C99 specifiers
like PRIuMAX are present, and requires a "#, c-format" hint in these
cases. Note that running msgunfmt on a MO, followed by msgfmt on the
intermediate PO, does not yield the original MO any more, if specifiers
like PRIuMAX were present *and* the original MO was created using a
c-format hint. In my interpretation, this is a bug in the
msgfmt/msgunfmt tools, therefore raising the priority by one step to
"Needs info".

** Changed in: gettext (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info
