Title:
dh_translations doesn't strip .desktop files when more than 1 pot
target with meson
Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
The gnome.help() meson function creates a help-$project-pot target.
This confuses dh_translations which complains:
dh_translations: more than one meson translation domain found (help-
gnome-calculator,gnome-calculator), don't know which one to use
I think the only consequence of this is that the .desktop doesn't have
its translations stripped and replaced with X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=
This means that Ubuntu translators are unable to update those
translations.
Affected Apps
=============
Therefore, this issue affects GNOME apps in main that use meson and also include help files.
gnome-control-center is also affected because it happens to have an
extra gettext domain (but does not ship help).
libgweather gets the warning because it has a second gettext domain
but it doesn't ship any .desktop files so I think the warning is
harmless.
Suggestion
==========
Maybe dh_translations could just exclude targets that start with "help-". That would fix most of these cases.
