Today I committed a French translation update from 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=920492

However, this translation seems outdated as Beatrice mentions above.
When I now call "make update-po", all po files (!) are changed again because
of changings like this:


@@ -3185,7 +3185,7 @@ msgid ""
 "management system (dpkg) will send an error message that it also needs "
 "<package>binutils</package>, and stop installing "
 "<package>gcc</package>. (However, this facility can be overridden by the "
-"insistent user, see <manref section=\"8\" name=\"dpkg\">.) See more in <ref "
+"insistent user, see <manref name=\"dpkg\" section=\"8\">.) See more in <ref "
 "id=\"depends\"> below."


Means the "section=xxx" and "name=yyy" parts within <manref ... > are swapped,
leading to 18 fuzzy strings :-((

I remember such issue from years ago. But is this still an unfixed issue?

This way we cannot get the translations up-to-date, hrrrr ...

Is this known? How to deal with this?

Beatrice: which Debian version are you using? I wonder if the tools in Debian
unstable behave different from those in Debian stable (I'm trying to explain,
what happens here).
I am using Debian stable.
