I guess that depends on where you're getting them.  If I remember
correctly, I've updated all the new POT/PO in Docs CVS, so if you
normally pull your POT/PO directly from CVS, you should be able to just
"cvs up" to get the latest.  If you pull from the Damned Lies interface
at translate.fp.o, I believe that system automatically has the latest
POT/PO as well.

I just fixed this problem as well; sorry for the inconvenience.
