> /usr/local/bin/msgmerge: `x.po': No such file or directory


Thanks for reporting this. This is a bug in gnulib's copy_file
function, that is used for making a backup of x.po.

The bug was reported in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2008-05/msg00149.html
and subsequently fixed in gnulib. The fix will be contained
in gettext 0.18.

The simplest workaround for you is to pass the option
--backup=none to msgmerge.

Ups, the order of params was incorrect but even if I correct that there is still problem:

mac:~ br$ /usr/local/bin/msgmerge -vU x.po x.pot
.
Read 1 old + 1 reference, merged 0, fuzzied 0, missing 1, obsolete 0.
/usr/local/bin/msgmerge: `x.po': No such file or directory


In case of any questions please contact me: -email is unavailable-

Hi, I'm trying to use msgmerge on macos (leopard).
I use the following command:

mac:~ br$ /usr/local/bin/msgmerge -Uv x.pot x.po -U
.
Read 1 old + 1 reference, merged 0, fuzzied 0, missing 1, obsolete 1.
/usr/local/bin/msgmerge: `x.pot': No such file or directory

I've tried using gettext version from macports.org or building my own from sources.

Both files exist 'msgmerge x.pot x.po' (without update option) works fine. The only problem is with -U or (--update) option.

I have no idea why...
