Ah.  The problem is the "#, c-format" marker.  It shouldn't be there.
I've removed it from the POT file at the TP.

Please remove that one "#, c-format" line from your PO file and resubmit.

In git I see that upstream already moved the "xgettext:no-c-format" hint
to the correct place.

> In my blurred memory, % should be %% to escape % if it is intended.

When the string would be a c-format string you would be right.  But
gettext mistakenly added the c-format marker.  Please remove it.

Hello, This is a Korean translator of coreutils.
I heard that it will be released this month.

I cannot submit an updated translation due to failure to check msgfmt.
I found a trivial bug at here,

 5707 #: src/fmt.c:304
 5708 #, c-format
 5709 msgid ""
 5710 "  -g, --goal=3DWIDTH\n"
 5711 "         goal width (default of 93% of width)\n"
 5712 msgstr ""
 5713 "  -g, --goal=3D<=EB=84=88=EB=B9=84>\n"
 5714 "         =EB=AA=A9=ED=91=9C =EB=84=88=EB=B9=84 (=EB=84=88=EB=B9=84=
=EC=9D=98 93%% =EA=B8=B0=EB=B3=B8=EA=B0=92)\n"

In my blurred memory, % should be %% to escape % if it is intended.
% can be used as a format specifier within a formatted string.
so, "default of 93% of width" would be better to be "default of 93 **%%**
of width"?
Please check my humble opinion. Thank you.

Sincerely
