Comment (by strk):

 This contending pot format is happening between machines with poxml
 4:20.12.0-1 and machines with poxml 4:21.12.3-0ubuntu1. Running `make
 update-pot` on one and on the other result in different newlines, like:

 {{{

 The problem seem to not be even fixable with msgattrib, although from the
 same version.
 Both machines have msgattrib from GNU gettext-tools 0.21, but when running
 this command against the SAME version of
 po/templates/administration.xml.pot:
 {{{
 $ msgattrib --no-wrap po/templates/administration.xml.pot | msgattrib
 --width 79  | grep "PostGIS 3"
 }}}

 They give these two different answers:
 1:
 {{{
 "If you are running PostGIS 3 or above, then you should use the <xref "
 }}}
 2:
 {{{
 "If you are running PostGIS 3 or above, then you should use the <xref
 linkend="
 }}}

 Note that the --no-wrap call results in the SAME output:
 {{{
 $ msgattrib --no-wrap po/templates/administration.xml.pot | grep "PostGIS
 3"
 msgid "If you are running PostGIS 3 or above, then you should use the
 <xref linkend=\"PostGIS_Extensions_Upgrade\"/> function to upgrade to the
 latest version you have installed."
 }}}
