intltool-update trips over Perl 5.26's sctricter regex syntax

    $ intltool-update
    Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.*)\${ <--HERE ?([A-Z_]+)}?(.*)$/ at /usr/bin/intltool-update line 1065.
    $ perl -v

    This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

If it's trying to match an actual literal ${ (as in, a dollar sign followed by a curly bracket), I'd suggest changing
    /\${...}/
throughout intltool-update's code to
    /\$\{...\}/
