that's indeed a very late answer (for a very minor problem :))

we are running in circles here.
Allan pointed out this message was not consistent with the rest for
one operation
Dan pointed out this message was consistent in other (more common?) operation.

also it's better to give a link rather than date/name of a message :
http://www.mail-archive.com/pacman-dev@archlinux.org/msg02503.html

What about ignoring that issue, and focusing on the billion of much
more important problems we have :)

only in the source code files. .pot and .po are generated from that.

PS : if this mail sounds harsh, don't take it seriously, it's nothing
personal (maybe I am just in a bad mood :))
