bug#33474: Bug in error message formatting

Dear madams and sirs,

the German translation of 'tail' has a formatting error when reporting that the PID to be monitored is invalid. The English version is correct.

English version:

export LANG=""
tail -f --pid=aaa /dev/null
tail: invalid PID: 'aaa'

German version:

export LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
tail -f --pid=aaa /dev/null
tail: %s: ungültige PID: „aaa“

The %s should not be there.


Thank you for looking after great software.
Mark Roberts
