The generated org.libvirt.api.policy.in file was recently added to the POTFILES list as it contains translatable messages. It is only generated when WITH_POLKIT && WITH_LIBVIRTD is satisfied though, resulting in the 'po_check' syntax rule failing if either of those conditions are not met. It is harmless to unconditionally generate this file, as a separate rule takes care of of installing it, and the latter remains under the build conditions. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
