Bug Description
When building software by running make -jNUMBER
it can happen that multiple intltool-merge processes are run in parallel.
In such cases we observed .desktop files being produced with a few random missing translations.
This is, because the first intltool-merge process creates a cache file
and the second intltool-merge process uses the cache file
even before the first one is done writing it.
Please apply the attached patch

Please make a merge proposal:
- start by branching from lp:intltool using "bzr branch lp:intltool"
- "cd intltool" and apply your patch
- "bzr push lp:~ubuntubmw/intltool/fix-cache-race"
- Browse to your code page (https:/
I'll take a look later and if I see no problems with it (looks good from a quick glance), I'll merge it.
