Disclaimer: I know nothing about the peculiarities of OpenSuSE.
That being said, here's some detective work on Gentoo, where all
this works of course fine thanks to the superior package manager. :-D

equery b /usr/bin/msgfmt 
 * Searching for /usr/bin/msgfmt ... 
sys-devel/gettext-0.19.8.1 (/usr/bin/msgfmt)

So ITS rules are used for localization support, and gettext tries to find
"appdata" rules. Let's see..ah yes:

$cd /usr/share/gettext/its
$ll
total 16K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  503 Aug 26 23:13 appdata.its
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  330 Aug 26 23:13 appdata.loc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.1K Aug 16 10:10 gschema.its
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  333 Aug 16 10:10 gschema.loc

Which package provides these appdata rules? 

equery b appdata.its     
 * Searching for appdata.its ... 
dev-libs/appstream-glib-0.6.13 (/usr/share/gettext/its/appdata.its)
sys-devel/gettext-0.19.8.1 (/usr/share/gettext-0.19.8/its/appdata.its)

Both gettext and appstream-glib provide rules, so maybe:

- check whether you have ITS appdata rules with your gettext, or
  whether there are additional packages related to gettext.

- try to install appstream-glib.

Hope this gets your further.
