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 (?).


SYSTEM INFO

Guix System (guix 77e768a)

Poedit 2.2.4

What might be referred to as a "run-time dependency" is called a
"propagated input" in Guix, where a dependency of X is installed
whenever X itself is installed. They are generally considered
undesirable and should be avoided, so when we're faced with this
sort of problem we usually do:

(inputs (list gettext))

and add a phase:

(add-after 'unpack 'patch-invocations
(lambda* (#:key inputs #:allow-other-keys)
(substitute* "src/foo/bar.c"
(("\"msgfmt\"")
(string-append
"\""
(search-input-file inputs "bin/msgfmt")
"\"")))))

Thanks, (, I'll try to patch it.

This issue has been solved indirectly, apparently (I don't see changes
to the package definition since 2019).
I followed the steps to reproduce the issue, but the file attached to
the initial report opens successfully:
Screenshot of Poedit 2.2.4 loading the catalog correctly.
This test was using:
guix ac19ae3
poedit 2.2.4
