Bug#436447: intltool: Regression in latest release: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation...

[Michael Biebl]

Package: intltool
Version: 0.36.0-1
Severity: important

After upgrading to 0.36.0 from 0.35.4, I can't successfully run
"intltool-update -m" anymore for one of my projects.
The error message is:

The following files contain translations and are currently not in use.
Please
consider adding these to the POTFILES.in file, located in the po/
directory.

_build/src/tracker-preferences/tracker-preferences.desktop.in
_build/src/tracker-search-tool/tracker-search-tool.desktop.in
_build/trackerd.desktop.in

If some of these files are left out on purpose then please add them to
POTFILES.skip instead of POTFILES.in. A file 'missing' containing this
list
of left out files has been written in the current directory.
=======================================================================

The three files, mentioned above are listed in po/POTFILES.skip

Downgrading to intltool 0.35.4 makes intltool-update -m work again.
