Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.43.5-1 Tags: patch Followup-For: Bug #856586 Dear Maintainer,
I saw the same problem, I could fix it by applying the following patch: --- e2fsprogs-1.43.5-orig/po/de.po 2017-08-04 07:30:21.000000000 +0200 +++ e2fsprogs-1.43.5/po/de.po 2017-08-09 18:04:02.361641995 +0200 @@ -7077,14 +7077,13 @@ msgstr "<Verarbeitung läuft\n" #: misc/util.c:104 -#, fuzzy, c-format +#, c-format msgid "Proceed anyway (or wait %d seconds) ?
