[Bug 1767549] [NEW] org.gnome.Characters.desktop untranslated

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Public bug reported:

$ tail -n1 /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Characters.desktop
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=$PACKAGE_NAME

dh_translations is confused by files in the source package belonging to
the old build system. configure.ac contains this line:

GETTEXT_PACKAGE=$PACKAGE_NAME

and dh_translations happily uses it to do its things.

The gnome-characters source package should apparently be cleaned up, but
I think that dh_translations should also be changed to not accept a
domain starting with '$'.
