It works perfectly, at least for aptitude. Thanks.

Do you intend to fix it before the next release? I'm waiting to know
approximatly how the next release of po4a will be to ask Jean-Luc Coulon
to update the French translation of the aptitude documentation in order
to detect potential additional problems. It could be better if he works
on a "stable" po file.


Have you seen my other mail addressing the problem with the attributes?
