not an error, and up to the translators to fix..
Translators are free to ignore any warning pootle prints, and of
course also use different punctuation...

Indeed.

41 "Plural-Forms: nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;\n"
(all in be project)

>>   82  n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);\n"

that line seems to be missing something, likely bug in your parser.
Anyway, LO doesn't really make use of plural forms..

$ git grep msgid_plural
$

And these are not really errors.. (and files in repo will only be
updated when the actual translation is updated. Changes to the header
fields alone will be ignored

well - nothing really broken, e xcept maybe the plural expression, but
for that one needs the actual bug line
$ git grep -h 'n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 :
2);\\n"'  |sort |uniq -c
   1466 "Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=(n%10==1 && n%100!=11 ? 0 :
n%10>=2 && n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);\n"
    351 "Plural-Forms: nplurals=3; plural=(n==1 ? 0 : n%10>=2 &&
n%10<=4 && (n%100<10 || n%100>=20) ? 1 : 2);\n"

so no idea where you get the 82 lines only - it has a nonmatched ), so
that line is incomplete, but see above - LO doesn't make use of plural
 forms...
