Details:

Example:

$ xgettext /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.gnome.controlcenter.datetime.policy
\
> --its=/usr/share/gettext/its/polkit.its -o test.pot
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

However, before segfaulting the command does it work properly:

$ cat test.pot
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR <address@hidden>, YEAR.

msgstr ""

#: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.gnome.controlcenter.datetime.policy:11
msgid "To change time or date settings, you need to authenticate."
msgstr ""

I'm not sure if this is a user error or a bug, but thought I'd report it.

(I know that since I have the policykit-1 package installed, which provides
polkit.{its,loc} in the proper directory, I wouldn't have needed the
"--its=FILE" option. Just made use of that file to illustrate the issue.)

Thanks!
