In file:

I believe that the following is a typo and the upper case 'N' in Ngettext (see context below, around line 444) should be a lower case 'n' (i.e. ngettext as I corrected in the code)

if (policy.min_length_password > 0) {
add_spaces(&buf);

// LGray Netezza/IBM corrected typo in next line which had uppercase N for ngettext call
k5_buf_add_fmt(&buf, ngettext ("The password must contain at least %d "
"character.",
"The password must contain at least %d "
"characters.",
policy.min_length_password),
policy.min_length_password);
}
if (policy.password_history) {
add_spaces(&buf);
k5_buf_add_fmt(&buf, ngettext("The password must be different from "
"the previous password.",
"The password must be different from "
"the previous %d passwords.",
policy.password_history),
policy.password_history);
}

I don't see the string "Ngettext" (with a capital N) in chpw.c, or
anywhere in the contents of the krb5-1.12.1 tar file.
