** Description changed: [Impact] The version of dh_translations, which was present when gnome-characters was last uploaded, resulted in a .desktop file with the wrong gettext domain, so the name of the application in e.g. the Activities overview is always shown in English. Meson support has been added to dh_translations since, so a no-change rebuild is sufficient to fix the issue. + Also, we are updating gnome-characters to 3.28.2 + + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-characters/commits/master + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-characters/blob/master/NEWS + [Test Case] On a system with some other language but English: - * Install the gnome-characters .deb package + * Install the gnome-characters .deb package (Note that in a new 18.04 + LTS install, the Snap is installed instead of the .deb.) -> find that its name is "Characters". * Install the rebuilt version of gnome-characters * Relogin -> find that its name is the translation of "Characters" [Regression Potential] - None. + There is a micro-release exception for GNOME: + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#GNOME [Original description] $ 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 '$'.
