badblocks' output of the pattern is wrong in the German locale

[malheum]

Hello,

I am using badblocks to check a hdd that I salvaged from an older machine that I got, I assume the hdd is still good, but I want to make sure and I also want to clear all old data from it.

I am using this command line:

# badblocks -c 4096 -b 4096 -o badblocks.txt -s -v -w /dev/sdb

This is the output I got so far, please notice that the pattern that badblocks is using is not written at the correct location

Nach defekten Blöcken wird gesucht (Lesen+Schreiben-Modus)
Von Block 0 bis 122096645
Mit Muster 0x wird getestetaa: erledigt
Lesen und Vergleichen:erledigt
Mit Muster 0x wird getestet55: erledigt
Lesen und Vergleichen:erledigt
Mit Muster 0x wird getestetff: 15.23% erledigt, 5:16:28 verstrichen. (0/0/0 Fehler)

For example the line:
Mit Muster 0x wird getestetaa: erledigt
should be:
Mit Muster 0xaa wird getestet: erledigt

Or the line
Mit Muster 0x wird getestet55: erledigt
should be:
Mit Muster 0x55 wird getestet: erledigt

Same for the line with shows the current pattern and the progress:
Mit Muster 0x wird getestetff: 15.23% erledigt, 5:16:28 verstrichen. (0/0/0 Fehler)
should be:
Mit Muster 0xff wird getestet: 15.23% erledigt, 5:16:28 verstrichen. (0/0/0 Fehler)

I assume the format string in the German translation for badblocks is a a wrong position in the string (at the end).

This is a x64 ubuntu 15.10 installation.
