As far as I understand it means something similar to
"Scan.pm y2k problem Date: fixed missing message's date
 (was incorrect in 2000 or later)."

I looked up "filed" in my dictionary as well and had problems to
understand it so I also suggest to change this. Maybe it should be
"filled"?

KUBOTA, what about changing the indentation of the colons? The Japanese
file looks in konqueror similar to:
package        : im
version        : 1:100-3
architectures: all
issue              : Scan.pm y2k problem Date: filed missing message's

PS: Three weeks ago I sent you two mails related to wrong URLs in Japanese
translation. You never replied ... I tried to fix most of these already
but it would be easier if I could speak Japanese :-))
