Dear maintainer:
During a rebuild of all packages in unstable using gettext 0.23.2
(not uploaded yet), wget2 failed to build:
dh binary
dh_update_autotools_config
debian/rules execute_before_dh_autoreconf
make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
cp -a lib lib.bak
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
dh_autoreconf
autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your configure.ac
file requires the infrastructure from gettext-
0.22.5 but this version
is older. Please upgrade to gettext-
0.22.5 or newer.
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf: error: autopoint failed with exit status: 1
dh_autoreconf: error: autoreconf -f -i returned exit code 1
make: *** [debian/rules:30: binary] Error 255
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
There is an explanation and a patch by Bruno Haible here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2025-09/msg00000.html
For your convenience, I'm attaching the patch (with some metadata)
to this message (please replace XXXXXXX by the real bug number,
which is unknown when I'm writing this).
Note: The patch is compatible with the current gettext in unstable,
and the idea is to fix wget2 before I upload the new gettext.
Thanks.Description: Fix bootstrap with GNU gettext 0.26
