I am trying to solve the dependencies yield from the ./bootstrap command and have problems with gettext. I am trying to get help from the debian-user list but wanted to double-check here if you understand this.
I have installed via wheezy-backports the version 0.19.3-2~bpo70, but running gettext is not running the new version, it runs the previously installed 0.18.1. My package manager system thinks that 0.19.3-2~bpo70 is installed but gettext seem to disagree. Would you have any idea what is going on with that?
