Supressing a %d parameter in a string

["Raphael Higino" <raphaelh uai com br>]

Hi folks.

How can I supress a %d parameter I don't want to use in the
translated string? I've tryed %0$d but msgfmt outputs the
following:

-----
nautilus.HEAD.pt_BR.po:3061: 'msgstr[0]' is not a valid C
format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive
number 1, the argument number 0 is not a positive integer.
-----

The reason I don't want to use that %d is that a message
like "Are you sure you want to permanently delete the 1
selected file?" doesn't sound natural speak in Portuguese.

Can anyone help me?
