Hi,
I've done "apt-file update" and then "apt-file search msgfmt"
returns nothing.
It makes me think it comes not from a package... strange.
It does not work for me on a completely unstable (upgraded and

More, I have gettext (and then /usr/bin/msgfmt) installed.
you could alternatively try
dpkg -S msgfmt
What output does this yield?
It yields this output :
gettext: /usr/lib/gettext/msgfmt.net.exe
gettext: /usr/bin/msgfmt
gettext: /usr/share/man/man1/msgfmt.1.gz
but it searches in installed packages whereas apt-file searches in
repository.
'apt-file list gettext' shows also nothing.
