As far as I understand there's nothing wrong with it, so this could be a documentation bug. The rest of the manpage and GNU docs for 'msgfmt' only talk about singular files. > There's something about *your* particular input files that it doesn't > seem to like.

These are from debian-installer and I have no reason to believe they are wrong. 'msgfmt' itself has several --check options that confirm it for single files. > Anyway, that's why there are several different tools available. You > can choose the right one for your task.
