Subject: Bug#809846: gettext: Does not recognise glade

Package: gettext
Version: 0.19.7-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The current version of xgettext seems to be unable to process glade
files, warning that it doesn't recognise the extension '.glade' on the
input file, and ignoring -L Glade and --language=Glade options. No
output .pot file is produced, but it returns a 0 exit code. For example:

$ /usr/bin/xgettext --package-name=roxterm -L Glade -o 
/home/tony/Dev/roxterm/build/po/glade.pot ../src/roxterm-config.glade
/usr/bin/xgettext: warning: file '../src/roxterm-config.glade' extension 
'glade' is unknown; will try C
