Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):
> make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/po'
> INTLTOOL_EXTRACT="/usr/bin/intltool-extract" XGETTEXT="/usr/bin/xgettext" srcdir=. /usr/bin/intltool-update --gettext-package dasher --pot
> xgettext: x-c.c:1666: phase5_get: Assertion `UNICODE_VALUE (c) >= 0 && UNICODE_VALUE (c) < 0x110000' failed.
> ERROR: xgettext failed to generate PO template file. Please consult

If you reassign this bug to another package, please marking it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with me
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
