Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2018-09-18 15:26:27 CEST 
We got a report from a customer that their ThinLinc Client 4.9.0 crashed when they tried to use public key authentication. They kindly included an backtrace which identified the problem.

I can see the crash with 4.9.0, but not with trunk. It also works fine with translations that didn't have this issue.

I can not find any instance where things are wrong.

Seems to work. I tested both changing the number of specifiers (adding or removing), and changing the type. It complained about both. It does not complain about changes in precision, but I guess that is okay.

Note that msgfmt is a bit naughty and leaves the generated .mo file in place. So if you run make again you'll get a success. Let's see if that can be fixed.

Rules fixed now. And release notes look good.

That should be everything.
