[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Remove left over lock file from intltool on "make distcheck" (#2911)

[Enrico Tröger]

Debian and ArchLinux (and maybe more) patched their "intltool" package
to use a lock file. But this lock file is not removed after its use and
so "make distcheck" complains about it.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67098

This is release critical as "make distcheck" is a crucial step to ensure we can create sane release tarballs.

In case anyone wonders why CI was not affected: CI uses "intltool 0.51.0-5ubuntu1" but the patches entered in "intltool 0.51.0-5.1".


I'm no Autotools expert, if there is a better solution or workaround, I'd be happy.
