Description of problem:
When trying to update po files in gajim, I got this error:

[matej at viklef po]$ make update-po
make gajim.pot
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/matej/redhat/BUILD/gajim/po'
INTLTOOL_EXTRACT=/usr/bin/intltool-extract srcdir=. /usr/bin/intltool-update
--gettext-package gajim --pot
./../src/common/config.py:180: warning: 'msgid' format string with unnamed
arguments cannot be properly localized:
                                        The translator cannot reorder the
arguments.
                                        Please consider using a format string
with named arguments,
                                        and a mapping instead of a tuple for
the arguments.
ERROR: xgettext failed to generate PO template file. Please consult
       error message above if there is any.
make[1]: *** [gajim.pot] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/matej/redhat/BUILD/gajim/po'
make: *** [update-po] Error 2
[matej at viklef po]$ 

When I filed my ticket (which was closed as duplicate of
http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/4166), I was told that it is actually bug in
xgettext which has been already fixed in Debian (bugs.debian.org/433743 and
bugs.debian.org/493218).

I have no idea, whether they sent patches upstream.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gettext-0.17-8.fc10.i386

How reproducible:
100%
