Where did you get POTFILES.in from? It isn't in the source tree. It's create during build process.
In any case, we haven't lib/vfs/dir subdirectory at all.

Replying to andrew_b:

From release tarball v4.8.15 of course. :)

That's not nice, but what are the consequences for you? Why one would want to run update-po on a release tarball? I'm trying to understand if the problem is serious enough to warrant another release.

That's not serious enough to warrant another release. I set priority "minor" to indicate that. Also patch is not a perfect fix but a sufficient workaround to build.
Running "update-po" is important to re-build pre-generated files in tarball.
Debian package runs "update-po" during build so this problem caused FTBFS.

Ok, thanks! I've added this as a blocker for the next release.

I've checked the generated tarball from master on a clean VM and the problem is not there. So this must have something to do with how Slava generated the tarballs. All we need to do, is to check that the problem doesn't happen again for the next release.

I've checked it with the new release tarball that I've just generated and it seems to work fine now.
