Sorry, I forgotto mention that, it is from sharutils 4.6.1-pre1.

There is such a message also.  The "Please unpack" messages are:

#: src/shar.c:922
msgid ""
"Archives must be unpacked in sequence!\n"
"Please unpack part '`cat ${lock_dir}/seq`' next."
msgstr ""

#: src/shar.c:1405
msgid "Please unpack part 1 first!"
msgstr ""

#: src/shar.c:1407
msgid "Please unpack part"
msgstr ""

A comment in the .po-file perhaps?  The idiom seems to be

#. TRANS ...
#: src/shar.c:1407
msgid "Please unpack part"
msgstr ""
