You need to run the script in a place where libs/shipped-docs exists.
So go up a directory, then type "scripts/get-pot.sh"

You've tried this:

"apt-get install build-dep ubuntu-docs"

You should use this:

"apt-get build-dep ubuntu-docs"

That will install all the build dependencies for ubuntu-docs.
