Re: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)

Hello folks,

 Just want to confirm that this is not a bug:

 <code>
 bunde.c: 443

  printf_ln(Q_("The bundle requires this ref",
                                      "The bundle requires these %d refs",
                                      r->nr),
                                   r->nr);

 </code>

 seems to be missing %d parameter on the first message.
 Please let me know if this is a bug or if it indeed should be like this.

 I am not a expert on gettext :-(

 Thank you!

Perhaps visit

look for "In the English singular case,..." and read the explanation there?

Got it!

From the recommended site:

-- In the English singular case, the number – always 1 – can be replaced with "one":

          printf (ngettext ("One file removed", "%d files removed", n), n);
This works because the ‘printf’ function discards excess arguments
that are not consumed by the format string.

Junio, thank you so much for the  reply and link to the docs.
