Public bug reported: 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.
