Seems to be a bug in the source code.
In python 2.6, the {} markup was introduced. The % was used previously.
It seems somebody forgotten to delete the % when updating the source code.

Anyway, the package smolt-server-1.2-4.2.fc11.noarch.rpm has the string
/usr/share/smolt/smoon/hardware/templates/deviceclass.html:        <th
valign="top" width="25%">${_("% hosts detected ")} ${type}</th>

which means the .pot file is outdated, the string  "%s hosts detected
${type}" will never be used.

The actual string would also confuse gettext library.

kind regards
