Dear Ian,

Since this update some build fail on ubuntu. In fact there is
translation of some XML files (for example mime types
resources/linux/mime/kicad-gerbers.xml.in) but gettext is unable to find
rules to translate that kind of file without the appropriate ITS file.
On Ubuntu 18.04, shared-mime-info is too old and don't ship
shared-mime-info.loc and shared-mime-info.its. So building is failing.

So what is your proposal for that ? Perhaps there is already an answer
about this point ? I think I can fix that by coping missing ITS files on
the appropriate directory but it's a dirty solution...
