[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Launch Poedit
2. Open the attached PO file (guix-website-es.po)


EXPECTED RESULT

☑ Poedit displays the catalog correctly


UNEXPECTED RESULT

☒ The catalog is not displayed. Instead you see an error:

Poedit Error: Unhandled exception occurred: Cannot execute program: msgfmt -o /dev/null -c "/path/to/guix-website-es.po"


WORKAROUND

Start Poedit in a guix shell that adds gettext:

guix shell poedit gettext
poedit

Then, you can open the PO files normally.

So it seems the package definition for Poedit is missing gettext as a run-time dependency (?).
